In Memory of Lauren: Community Asked to Display Blue Ribbons
Blue ribbons seen tied to trees around town are in honor of a 17-year-old who died last week.
The Mokena community is launching a blue ribbon celebration in remembrance of Lauren Carollo.
Carollo, 17, died suddenly last week after being struck by a train. The manner of death is still under investigation.
Community members ask that residents display blue ribbons in her memory.
"Please change your Facebook profile picture, wear a blue ribbon on your lapel, tie a ribbon on your trees, or display in your home, office or classroom in some way," wrote organizer Raeann Racine.
