The incident led to a debate within the Scripps Ranch community about whether regulations prohibiting memorials along roadways should be enforced or whether compassion should be shown toward grieving families.
“When it becomes personal, things happen and you feel a certain way,” said Leeman. “The young woman, 28 years old, dying in a car crash with three young kids. I saw a picture of the family. The fact that she was a person of faith.”
“My caustic response was, 'Hey if that’s a distraction for drivers, they shouldn’t be on the road,' but I have to balance that out,” said Leeman, commenting on his representation of the community as a whole. Orpheus told NBC 7 he wished the people unhappy with his tribute to his daughter had called the number that he had posted on the memorial.
In the meantime, a few flowers near the tree stump will hold that sacred place for the Haywood family.
