Private volunteers in Groveland have begun work on a new playground. But it will no longer be named after a young girl killed in last week's day care crash in Winter Park.

Begging the Quintus family for forgiveness, Dianne Garvis said she didn’t realize her effort to name this playground for Lily Quintus, was wrong.

“I was shocked this morning and brought to my knees in tears," said Garvis, "because I brought a little bit of pain, somehow, to a family that is desperately grieving a pain that I can’t imagine.”

Garvis said the big picture was to dedicate a Kiddie Land Academy to the children of Groveland and name the playground for Quintus, who lost her life when a car crashed into her daycare in Winter Park about two weeks ago. But the family’s attorney, Mark Nation, worries that this was an explotation.

“The problem is, the family doesn’t know anything about this playground," Nation said. "They don’t know the people who raised this money. The family’s never been asked to participate in it and they’re very concerned about what’s happening with this money that’s been raised in her name.”

Garvis insists they have not raised any money for a playground in Lily Quintus’ name. Garvis said she and her husband have used their own money -- skipping a mortgage payment, to make sure the ribbon cutting happened. Garvis said they have been accepting gift cards since the project began in January.

“I’m certainly going to look into who has raised this money and, as we say in the legal community, follow the money,” Nation said.

Nation said there are estimates of $175,000 raised so far using the name of Lily Quintus, which Garvis denies. She said that she only wanted to dedicate the playground to Quintus in light of the tragedy. Garvis said she asked for permission from the Groveland Fire Department, where Lily’s father works.

“It was definitely a question I asked and said our heart goes out to you," Garvis said. "You guys have been here for us. The fact that it brought pain, it does take away a little bit of the joy of this.”

Garvis said she was never told she couldn't by do it the fire department.

The Fire Department said they never gave Garvis permission. Garvis said the playground for Kiddie Land Academy will now be completed WITHOUT the controversy and the Quintus name so as not to cause trouble for the grieving family.

Lily Quintus died after investigators say Robert Corchado crashed a Dodge Durango into the back of a Toyota Solara, sendint it careeing through a KinderCare center in Winter Park. Fourteen other people were injured in the crash, including a dozen other children.

Corchado was charged with fleeing the scene of a deadly crash. He remains in the Orange County Jail on a bond of $100,000.

The driver of the Solara was not charged. The Florida Highway Patrol said no alcohol was found in the other driver's system.
