True Love

While delivering funeral flowers to a mortuary, Holly, one of our owners had a tender experience. The room where the deceased woman lay was empty, and Holly placed the spray of flowers on the casket. She left to get more flowers from the van, and when she re-entered, she felt a completely different feeling in the room- a feeling of love and tenderness.
She watched as an older man gently put glasses on the face of his wife’s body, and then slide her wedding ring onto her finger.
“It was the picture of real love” Said Holly. “It wasn’t like the movies where a beautiful woman is being kissed by a gorgeous man. It was just sweet and tender. It was pure love.”
The man wasn’t sobbing- just lovingly caring for the woman he no doubt had cherished when she had been alive. What a reminder to those of us still living to treat our loved ones with true and gentle kindness.

The Big Aloha

Recently, A beautiful Hawaiian woman- soon to be grandma -came into Flowers On Main, and ordered a big arrangement for her first new grandchild that was to be born at any minute. She wanted the arrangement to be big and colorful, and asked that more flowers be added to the design. She ended up spending over 100 dollars, and was thrilled with her big beautiful “Aloha " welcome for her new grandchild! Lucky new baby to have that grandmother’s welcome. Aloha, new baby, From Flowers On Main!
