"Gifts of love" from Utah families make up 2011 Festival of Trees

ABC 4 Salt Lake City | Emily Clark

SANDY, Utah (ABC 4 News) – The end of Thanksgiving marks the yearly tradition of Festival of Trees. Volunteers spent Monday transforming the South Towne Expo Center into a “Gift of Love” for the Primary Children’s Medical Center.

While each of the hundreds of trees, wreaths and holiday displays are beautiful each possess their own story. It’s a very touching and special story for the Frazier family.

Corrine Frazier spoke to ABC4 while she was decorating her tree on Monday; she said, “I have to be strong because she was strong for me and to keep her memory alive, we try to help other people.”

Frazier is helping PCMC and remembering her angel, Livi. In June of 2010 Corrine was eight months pregnant and driving home from work when she was hit head on. Emergency crews were able to save Corrine, but her unborn child did not live. Doctors later told Corrine, her Livi protected her organs and saved her life.
