On Saturday, members of the Windsor Terrace community planted a tree to memorialize Kyung-Sook (aka Lindo Woo) who was murdered last week; it was planted outside of her dry cleaning store where she lost her life.

The family is determined to continue operating the store, Eden Dry Cleaners in Windsor Terrace. This was on the Park Slope Parents list-serve on Sunday morning.

My family dropped by the dry cleaner to pay our respects.  To our 
astonishment, the dry cleaner is open and operating.  We spoke with 
Mr. Woo, one of Ms. Woo’s two sons who were there.  He spoke of the 
family’s determination to keep the store operating ("My mom would 
want this.").  I was inspired by the family’s hard work and 
determination.

He went on to speak with gratitude about the support community has 
shown the family.  He proudly pointed to the tree which was planted 
just this morning ("They rushed it.")!

Here is information about the Linda Woo Memorial Fund

On the morning of May 16th, 2008, beloved Kyung-Sook "Linda" Woo, 63, 
who owned the Eden Dry Cleaners at 10th Avenue and Windsor Place in 
Windsor Terrace, was found dead in her store. Mrs. Woo had owned the 
shop for years after moving here from Korea and used to live across 
the street with her family before moving to Queens. Jamal Winter, 22, 
is being held without bail in connection with the death. He was 
arraigned on first and second degree murder charges and first degree 
robbery. At the time of this tragedy, Winter was out on bail on 
another robbery case and was scheduled to go on trial for that case 
in June.

Thanks to Robert Bello Landscaping for donating the tree, to The NYC 
Parks Department for arranging a speedy tree planting, and to Clieve 
Christian and the Prospect Park Commerce Bank for generously helping 
set up the Linda Woo Memorial Fund. The fund will pay for a plaque to 
be placed under the tree and for a fence to enclose the tree’s base. 
After these items are paid for, any additional funds will be given to 
Mrs. Woo’s family to use at their discretion.
