The Issue

In Wise County, on County Road 4668, lies a simple crossing known as Bobo Crossing. This location holds a deep personal significance, as it is intricately connected to a painful event that affects many of us. We are calling for the renaming of Bobo Crossing to Athena's Crossing to honor the memory of a beloved child whose life was tragically and unjustly taken from us far too soon.

Athena was a bright, lovable, and remarkable child whose presence brought joy and warmth to our lives and community. Her untimely departure left a void that can never be filled. Naming this crossing after Athena will serve as a constant reminder of her vibrant spirit, bringing healing and hope to those who continue to mourn her loss.

This proposed change is not only a tribute to Athena but also a chance for the community to come together in solidarity, showing that we will not forget those who have been unjustly wronged. Renaming Bobo Crossing to Athena’s Crossing is a small, yet significant step towards recognizing the fleeting beauty and impact of her short life.

We urge the Wise County officials to consider this request favorably. By renaming the crossing, we acknowledge the importance of cherishing every moment of life and taking a stand against the tragedies that claim innocent lives. Let us work together to ensure Athena's memory is honored in a meaningful way.

Please join us in supporting this initiative. Sign this petition to help us rename Bobo Crossing to Athena’s Crossing, and let her legacy live on forever.
