I am holding Doris Perry in my heart, as a loving mother-in-law to me and big-hearted grandma to our daughter Catie. As I tend my blooms, I fondly recall her love of gardens and skill at flower arranging. We have many special family memories, both in Tennessee and on the West Coast, thanks to her trips across our beautiful land.

They say people come into our lives for a reason. We’re so glad you came into ours. You have been a very good friend throughout the years, and my flower guru. You always had a kind, encouraging word. You will be greatly missed.
