My Aunt Jeanne
My aunt Jeanne loved the brightest, cheeriest florals you could find on her blouses. It was a long-standing family joke which she was entirely unapologetic for. For such a quiet, shy person it was a big statement. She was one of the few family and friends who insisted, quietly but no discussion allowed, on paying the whole price for my work and she collected it consistently. When she retired from her nursing career, she stepped in to care for other family members.
On July 18, my aunt Jeanne died from liver cancer. And yes, the floral arrangements were the absolute brightest ones to be found.

Got something to say?
She sounds like my kind of woman. I am so sorry that you had to say goodbye to her.

What a wonderful tribute to a woman I would be honored to emulate. I am sorry for your loss.

whose grey hair is usually died purple or bright blue because I’m too young to be old!
Your aunt would have loved those gorgeous florals. Its a beautiful tribute to her.
The beautiful, bright colours would have made her feel happy. She once told me she liked wearing bright florals because they made her feel happy, dark or neutral colours made her feel sad.
I’m sorry for your loss, Elaine. The beads are so bright and cheery
