I remembered last night that I have two different lapel pin vases. So for a little while, I'm going to be wearing a flower from the assorted arrangements that people have been sending in Mom's memory.



In the next few days, I need to go pick up a bunch of silica gel, so I can also preserve the flowers.

(I also need to, oh, dye my hair and have the Stroppy One trim my bangs, but that will probably take me a bit longer to get to.)

I have been meaning to ask, and forgive me if you mentioned something and I didn't see it.

Would the family prefer flowers, or a donation in your mother's name to a charity? If so, do you have a charity in mind?

A donation in Mom's name would be longer lasting. I mean, I like flowers, but I'd rather that more people get use from my Mom's memory.

Mom's name: Cindy Sutter

Thank you.

You're welcome.

I'm just doing this now (I didn't forget!), but it's asking for your street address. I don't have that. If you'd like to send it to me, just shoot me an email at spinifex@gmail.com. When I have that info, I can do the donation.

I think that's a lovely idea.
I haven't dropped any comments lately, but you should know you're in my thoughts often. xoxo

I think that's a lovely way to celebrate her memory.

Do you happen to have a lock of her hair? If so, you could place it in a pendant style locket to wear after the blooms fade...

I hope you're holding up o.k. Please give Pete a hug from me too ~ I know he's got to be such a huge source of strength and support for you right now.

I wish you and your family peace and serenity during your time of grief.

You'll be very glad you did this. Three years later I still have a dozen white roses in a dried arrangement that a good friend sent when my mother died. Next to that, I have a vase with a few dried roses off of caskets of funerals, an aunt, my mother, and my grandmother.

Now, if I could keep the cat from nibbling on them, all would be well...

That's a beautiful way to carry her memory with you through the day.

I think that's a lovely way to express some grief. I assume that's the gesture anyways, but I think it's very classy and very touching.
