  2. GIVE ME FLOWERS WILL I YET LIVE! THIS WAS A WONDERFUL CELEBRATION OF LIFE WELL LIVED
    Before my cousin Ken died I gave a program called give me my flowers while I live and I sent out invites that said we were honoring Aunt Jerry and Uncle George so that my whole TN family would attend. doing the service I told each of my family to stand one by one and gave them a flower and honored them. I am so glade that I had the opportunity to show them all how much I love and appreciate them and I remember the look on Ken's face when I noted all his accomplishments and how he was such a wonder father. There are tears falling on the keyboard so I better stop.

    LOVE, LOVE, LOVE YOU!

  5. He is sister. He's 78 years old. His children decided to throw him a celebration gathering, even though it wasn't his birthday, to celebrate his life NOW. :-) He's a special part of the family.

  6. It is wonderful that you are celebrating with him now. to me it's like giving someone flowers while alive and not waiting to put them on the grave. i had chills just viewing your site on this special, special occasion. your daughter is blessed to have such a loving family with all the extensions.

  7. Thank you sister for your very kind words. Yes, I have come to realize that I may not have loads of money, but I am so very wealthy in love and family. Both sets of my grandparents had many children and so I have many relatives scattered about. I am blessed.
