Jim, So sorry to hear of your mothers passing. I never had the pleasure of meeting her personally but I always wanted to stop and tell her how beautiful I thought her flowers were. I would always look to see what was blooming at her house as I'd drive by. She will be missed by all the lives she touched including those who she touched only by those beautiful flowers in her yard.

Marilyn and Don,
So sorry to hear about Jen. She was such a remarkable lady. I am glad that I got to know her. She will be missed by many.
I can see her picking weeds in the driveway and she loved her flowers and her house. You both have taken such good care of her and she is in heaven now.
