Almost two weeks have passed since police found Amber Kirwan's body on a logging trail in Heathbell, Nova Scotia, and they are still examining all leads in the search for her killer.

Meanwhile, many people in Pictou County are still finding ways to honour the young woman who touched the lives of residents after she was reported missing in October.

The 19-year-old worked at Proudfoots Home Hardware store in New Glasgow, and every year the store creates a large Christmas display. This year, one tree has special meaning for the community, as it is decorated in memory of the teen.

"Amber was here for three-and-a-half years and we all knew her and loved her here," says co-worker Mary Campbell.

It began as a small tree of hope shortly after she disappeared, as co-workers prayed for her safe return, but now it is in place as a tribute to the teen.

"This was our hope, and then when things changed, it became a memory tree," says Campbell. "So, it's all our memories of our girl."

The memories of Kirwan take the form of notes, written on Christmas ball decorations.

"Then we noticed that people were coming in, and so we decided to go for a bigger tree for the public," says Campbell.

Store manager Karri Tibbel says dozens of messages have been collected, and they will soon be taken out of the store.

"The balls we are going to package up, and hopefully pass on to the Kirwan family," says Tibbel.

Another display erected for the teen is set to be taken down soon. Community members have laid candles, flowers and notes at a stone wall in downtown New Glasgow, across the street from Dooly's pool hall where she was last seen before she was reported missing, since her disappearance.

But the display is on private property, and the owners have asked for the candles and other mementos to be removed, which will happen on Saturday.

Candles covering the wall have left a thick trail of wax across the stone, which will require high pressure hoses to clean up. A local spray wash company has offered to clean the wall for free.

Some residents are calling for a more permanent structure to be erected somewhere in the town, in memory of the teen.

Meanwhile, police are still investigating the case. No arrests have been made.
