It's another way that Lincoln-Way communities have found to honor the little girl who died Oct. 13 in a two-car collision in Kankakee County.

He suffered internal injuries, but is recuperating. Neighbors and friends of the Little Family have found a variety of ways to lend support, but this one is unique.
