Carissa, We are sorry to hear about your loss. We (my parents and my family) attempted to send a fruit basket, but it's not deliverable. My mother may have written down an incorrect address for you. If you receive this today, March 18, please call (502) 909-7154 so that I can get your correct address and phone number in attempt to still have it delivered. Our thoughts and prayers are with you, Terri and family
