Mom, I wanted to call you today and tell you about your funeral. I wanted to ask you where to plant a camellia bush I received.

I want to call you and tell you about the huge stargazer lillies that were at the church service. I want to call you and tell you that you looked beautiful on Christmas Day. Mom, you were always there for me in every...

Dear Family,

She would be the plant that stood out from the rest, yet, beautifully complemented all the plants around her. She would be the plant that everyone noticed and admired. A plant so rare...

Allison,
I was so sorry to hear about the death of your mom. I know how close the two of you were, and I know there are no words to take away the pain you are feeling now. Only time can do that. Jean told me about your mom when it happened, and I just wanted to let you know that I am keeping you and your family in my prayers.
With much love,
Jerry
