Title: Floral Tribute - Supersprout
Post by: OliveOil on March 04, 2007, 19:15:25

As suggested on the other thread I am happy to arrange the tribute with any left over money sent to the hospice.

Obviously some of our members will beable to attend the funeral but for those of us who cannot and would like to include themselves in sending a tribute please pm or email me.

I have £15 so far.

Cheques arrived from:

Agapanthus
MrsKP
Grandma
Maggie
Biscombe
Mrs Dunseith


I'm in contact with a florist who is lovely and will do her best to design something unique for our 'supersprout'. I've told her it must include straw and veg of some kind.

If you have any ideas please post them so that I can get back to her today.

Many thanks Emma

Hi OliveOil, glad the cheque arrived safely (Mrs D).  It's making me smile at the thought of this floral tribute with straw and veg in lol  ;D

Title: Re: Floral Tribute - Supersprout
Post by: Biscombe on March 08, 2007, 20:41:02

Said it before and I'll say it again! thanks to OliveOil for organising this. Love the straw and veg idea!

Hellooooo all - Thanks Kitten - glad you are accounted for!

Just to let people know that it still isn't too late to send in tribute cheques... as I said all left over money will be sent to the hospice but so far we have barely covered the flowers with today's cheques, though I'm sure with the other pledges we should have enough and to send to the hospice too.

Thank you soooo much guys.

Now whilst I'm arranging with the florists... Could anyone make up a short poem to summarise our SS for the card?  I could think of something but team effort here I think!

I know this isn't the place to "advertise" other messageboards, but on another she was active on, there are a number that seem to be able to write poems. Maybe one of them could.

Title: Re: Floral Tribute - Supersprout
Post by: OliveOil on March 09, 2007, 14:24:02

Jeannine and Shilton - have received... thank you so much

Kenkew - loved your poem!

In fact I was thinking there is no reason why we can't submit various poems or messages and I can laminate it and post it over to the florist to send with the flowers. 

Title: Re: Floral Tribute - Supersprout
Post by: OliveOil on March 11, 2007, 07:53:19

Received from CornyKev and Wendy :)

Bless you OliveOil, thanks for all you have done for us and Sarah.  It is lovely to know we have sent some flowers when I can't get there. I shall plan to do something special to think of her and Will on Thursday.  T.x

Title: Re: Floral Tribute - Supersprout
Post by: OliveOil on March 13, 2007, 18:37:19

I really wish I could go on Thursday too... but I have to work... am going to meet Woody though after work, to talk chilli's!

Received from Prink13, Emma-Jane and someone else... will check the cards again downstairs.

Oh, thank you everyone who sent cards - i am getting quite a collection, they are lovely!

Post by: OliveOil on March 13, 2007, 20:44:48

Oh sush Kev.. no need for all that malarky

Received from Norfolklass  ;D

Now i just have to write the card and get it over to Fiona (she's been employed by Buck Palace and the Queen to do floral arrangements - only the best for our Supersprout hey!)

Off for a bath and a think of what to write - so much to say on such a little card :(

Another post and card keeper here. Thought about Sarah lots yesterday whilst on my plot, up to my ears in straw inspecting stuff grown from her donated seeds. I hope Will is doing ok.
Loved the tribute OO, and thanks Georgie for posting the pics.

Title: Re: Floral Tribute - Supersprout
Post by: Georgie on July 25, 2007, 18:11:19

Yeah, I've saved emails and cards too.  I understand that Will is fine although I haven't heard from him directly.

Is anyone directly in contact with Will?

Title: Re: Floral Tribute - Supersprout
Post by: Carol on July 25, 2007, 20:16:51

The tribute to Sarah was so apt.  Thanks for showing the pics G.  My camera was with me but didnt like taking pics at a funeral somehow!!  I too have all the messages from Sarah.  Its strange how none of us can erase them.  She was a special lady.   :'(

Title: Re: Floral Tribute - Supersprout
Post by: Georgie on July 25, 2007, 20:30:47

Like you, Carol, I didn't feel able to take pictures at the funeral.  But I am glad that these pictures were passed on to me to share with A4A members.

Anne, I know people who are in direct contact with Will and I'd be happy to pass on a message if you want me to.

Title: Re: Floral Tribute - Supersprout
Post by: grawrc on July 25, 2007, 20:46:53

Just to let him know I'm still here G and that I'd happily be in touch via our former channels or just grawrc@hotmail.com
Thanks G! :-* :-*
