I certainly understand the pain of losing a favorite tree. We had a Kwanzan Cherry that was in our back yard when we purchased our current home. It was spectacular ever spring. about 6 years ago, it started to look tired, and 4 years ago it died. We replace it three years ago with a similar specimen, and it is just starting to show the kind of beauty that the old one had.
Lat year we lost one of my treasured dogwoods. I plan to replace it in a week or so, I still have four mature dogwoods on the property, but I miss the one we lost.
