Luci, Betty and Bev,
You were all so wonderful to Basil. I know that he appreciated all that you did for him. I’m so sorry for your loss. He is flying high with grandma and grandpa, I can just see the smiles on their faces when he came home to them. Hugs and love to you all
So sorry for your loss. I was wondering if your Flowers was related some how to my Flowers. My great great grandparents were Asher and Elevine Flowers; my great grandparents were Oscar and Emma Flowers; my grandparents were David and Mina Flowers. Only Asher’s family were born in New York state the others were born in Tuscola and Gratiot counties.
Thank you for your time.
