I worked as a florist, I deal with funerals almost every day. Throughout the world, sympathy flowers have played an important role in funeral customs because of their fragrant beauty and comforting qualities. What's more, they serve as a herald of hope reminding us of the spirit of life. In ancient times, tradition called for loved ones to use flowers and herbs to anoint the bodies of the deceased, while aromatic flowers and plants were used to decorate the burial site. Today, flowers remain one of the most beautiful ways to express our condolences when words fail us. During times of sorrow, sympathy flowers are messengers of hope when it's needed most. To me I look at a funeral as the time for the bride to meet her bride groom. The Casket spray is the bridal bouquet and the flowers from love ones and friends are the brides maids bouquets. After all Our Lord is the Brides Groom and one day He is coming again.

When I visit the Cemetery's in the East Texas Area it like a family reunion most of the time. Seams like I know almost every one. Guess that could mean I am getting old. ha ha heeeeee not me.
My family reads like this, Griffin, Mason, Arnold, Cristian, Jernigan, Barber, Morris, Sparks, Bradberry, Foly, Pontremoli, Gothard, Derrington, Goode, Fisher, Gingerich, Cross, Wright, Van Devender, and more...My 4h great grandfather was a Caption Major in the Revolutionary War in he 1700's

Up date,,,, here it is July 2020 and I am going strong again. I have plans to hit the cem. up north in Iowa... That is where Griffins came from...I now live in Iowa.
