..and I did see that beautiful Rose too! Love you. Great Grandma Jean
Dear Great Grandma Jean: I wanted to give you this rose, but
when I looked up I saw you way up high in the clouds, and you were way too far away for me to hand this to you. You looked so peaceful and you were smiling, so I smiled back - did you see me? I remember you wearing that sport-cap when all your hair fell out after you got that thing they call cancer. I was so hoping you'd get better, but when you didn't and you felt so badly, I just knew you needed to rest. Well, I can dry the rose petals; put some pretty perfume on them, and keep them in a little jar so I'll always remember the day I saw you floating on the cloud near Heaven. I love you. Bella

I couldn't see the candle all that well. I'm surmising you just wanted the flame? It looks lovely with those rocks. Do you life where there are rocks like these?
THIS PHOTO IS BY LISA MARIE - NOT MY DAUGHTER, BUT SHE HAS THE SAME NAME.
Lisa is dealing with cancer; she is a terrific photographer. If you click this beautiful photo, you can visit her blog. This photo seemed so right to pay tribute to the many who've dealt with cancer (as I have); to those who've won the battle, and in memory of those who haven't.
IN YOUR MEMORY, JEAN
Love, Bruce & Shelby
IN YOUR MEMORY, JEAN
Love, Gaby & Kevin
IN YOUR MEMORY, JEAN
Love, Tom, Sandy, & family
Jean requested that instead of sending flowers, that we 'plant them'.
Per her request, these flowers are planted in Jean's memory.
We chose the Forget Me Not's; Pansies, and a mix of other perennials.
Alaska State Flower is the Forget Me Not. It was chosen in 1949. The alpine forget-me-not is a perennial that grows 5 to 12 inches high in alpine meadows. The flowers have five connected salviform petals, colored sky blue, that are a quarter to a third of an inch wide. They have a white inner ring and a yellow center.
Jean's son, Chris, and her great grand-daughter, Bella
