My pine tree has to be cut down because it's diseased. My grandma gave me this tree as a sapling a few years before she died. I'm very sad that it's getting removed. Is there a way to grow a new tree from one of the pine cones? Any other ideas?

Jen, I don't know ANYTHING about trees, but, as a last resort, let me tell you what happened to me. I had a big tree in the front yard that got sick and supposedly died. My neighbor had one that died also, and the tree doctor came over and told me mine was dead, too. So, I hired a guy to cut it down. I live at the dead end of a street, so when the guy was cutting it down, I asked him to leave a 6-foot stump, as sort of a traffic barrier, (I didn't want someones car ending up in my daughter's bedroom). Long story short, the tree came back! Like I said, I don't know NUTHIN' about trees, but since yours has GREAT sentimental value, you might give it a try. Mine grew back to 30' in 2 years. It finally died for good this year, but that was 6 years after the "tree doctor" told me to cut it down. Just food for thought. Good luck!
