A friend's mother died at 86 this past weekend, so I attended the viewing yesterday. She was perfectly healthy and driving about until February when she discovered she had advanced pancreatic cancer. I decided to order sympathy flowers online and have them delivered to the funeral home. I was quite pleased with the process, it even prompted me to choose an appropriate message from its own list, should I be short of the right words (which I was). Here is the orchid arrangement I chose:
The deceased had surviving siblings including a 96 year old surviving brother who apparently still bowls! It seems that so much of the entire family had not gathered together for some time. Fortunately or unfortunately, it takes a funeral to bring people together.

Too true! Lovely flowers, though! Valerie
Beautiful!
thats so true,, beautiful flowers
That is a beautiful arrangement! Besides the "I'm sorry," I don't know what else to say.
They look like dendrobiums and they are really gorgeous! It was such a beautiful offering to send them. Sigh.... at my age, 86 still sounds young.
What a beautiful arrangement!
