Bouquet for the bouquets

Posted Feb 16, 2012 By Erlene McGuire

To the Editor:

I'm writing to express 'kudos' to Mel's Flowers in town.

My mom passed away Jan. 25 and I only got around to getting flowers on Saturday, Jan 28.

The ladies there were very helpful and although it was late morning and I needed them for the next day for the wake, I was told to come back for 3:30 and they'd have two bouquets ready. One from the grandchildren and one from the great grandchildren.

The bouquets were absolutely beautiful and very colourful, which I wanted, along with ribbons saying grandchildren, great grandchildren.

I brought them home after the funeral Monday, Jan. 30 and I am still enjoying them today, Feb. 8, as is my aunt to whom I gave the other bouquet.

My aunt is my mom's sister, so I'm really pleased that we're still both still enjoying them for mom and there's still a lot of life left in them, so we will enjoy them for days to come.

Thank you for a wonderful job, Mel's.
