I'm sorry that I did not think about calling the florist last night when we got home. I don't know what my problem is. I guess I am just nuts.

Myrna wrote: Julie and David told me in person. Shawn called and is thinking of coming to the funeral and he will go in. Eric is the only one I haven't heard from. Did you send it to Amy? His email is down. He does get text messages but I'll be hanged if I can figure out how to do those on my "new" phone (it is not actually new anymore but I still can't figure it out).

Kirsten wrote: Did not send to Amy.  I will send you the moola.  Thanks for ordering on behalf of us all.  Wish I could be there to pay my respects.

Myrna wrote: We have debated back and forth about whether we should do money in a card or give flowers. Flowers look beautiful at the funeral and on the grave but it is cold here and they are sure to freeze in a day or two. I think the family is all well enough off that money is not an issue. I have, from time to time, paid for the meat for a funeral so the family did not have to. We have missed the one viewing because we cannot order flowers here on Sunday and it was this evening. However, we could have flowers there for the viewing and the funeral in the morning.
