Tina you will be missed. God Bless you! May the Lord give your family peace and love during this terrible time. I hope that it brings your family some comfort by seeing how much influence your spirit had in this world...with people who never even had the privilege to meet you face to face.
I didn't plant a sunflower, or buy one...I'm afraid that at this point in the season they won't grow fully. But...I promise that next spring I will plant a whole handful in your honor! Below is a pic of the sunflowers that grow in one of my neighbors backyards. She gave me permission to post her pic.
Rest in Peace sweet lady...

I may have to plant some sunflowers next year too. Thanks for sharing a lovely pic. It was nice of your neighbor to let you share it with us.
ReplyDeleteI planted sunflowers only once, a few years ago...and with my black thumb they didn't do so well! Next year I will try much, much harder!
DeleteTina will be missed, thank you... she has many friends on this globe!

DeleteI think whenever I see a sunflower now I will think of Tina.
ReplyDeleteMe too Suzanne! :)
DeleteThose are gorgeous! Tina would love them!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure she would. I hope she sees each and every one that is posted today in her honor!
DeleteTina had a way of popping into peoples lives and giving them joy!
ReplyDeleteYes she did! She always had something positive to say.
DeleteAmen! She had such a wonderful spirit and heart for people.
ReplyDeleteLove the beautiful, larger-than-life picture... it's reminiscent of Tina's beautiful and larger-than-life spirit...
ReplyDeleteLife is good!
So huge! I'll be planting in the spring as well. And I'll have to put a force field around them so they won't get eaten again.
ReplyDeleteVery nice post.
Thank you,
Heather
