that are meaningful to the family....a gathering of favorites from different bouquets.

Remembering ~

I just wanted to let you know that I gave your beautiful creations to Austin's family today, and I don't think I'll ever be able to express in words how much it meant to them. His mother was in complete awe of the necklace, as am I. They are definitely something we will both treasure forever. You have provided us with something so beautiful, and have given us a reason to smile during such a heartbreaking time. You will have my gratitude forever.

All my love!

Sarah
