Alamo Indiana Cemetery

 

Your courier managed to get the biggest flower bouquet I ever saw up 17 flights of stairs to my office just to stop them being squashed in the elevator – they were perfect, they cannot have looked better when they left your premises. I commend you.(Jayne Newman, San Antonio TX )

Thank you for making it easy to send flowers back home. It's good to let them know every once in a while that you haven't dropped off the face of the earth. I think your site is the best one to work with in order to do this.(Thomas G. , Luxembourg , Luxembourg)

Alamo Indiana Business

 

My uncle's death was very hard on my cousin, his daughter. I'm glad I was able to give her a little indication that there were people in the world who cared about her and what she was going through. I sent her a sympathy basket of plants and told her that I was there if she needed me. Thanks for providing something that will last a longer time.(Nancy G. , Albuquerque NM )

Alamo Indiana Delivery

 

Your flower delivery man Tomas found our flat with no number on the door in 40 minutes flat. My wife thought I’d forgotten our anniversary, and thanks to you and Tomas I managed to convince her otherwise – thanks!(Christopher Powers, Virginia Beach VA )

The Frosty the Snowman jar with Christmas flowers is wonderful and my children think it came from the north pole! (Maggie Howe, Portland OR )

Alamo Indiana Hospitals

 

I like that you use FTD and UPS, two organizations that I have always admired for their efficiency. In its early days, FTD was something of a novelty, but it has really grown into a serious example of how modern technology can make an old business drastically better.(Kyra V., Coeur d'Alene ID )

Alamo Indiana Offices

 

My mother visited for a short time last spring, and she noticed something completely new, for her anyway. She noticed that there was this celebration called Mother's Day that everyone takes so seriously. Now she demands that she be treated like an American mother and have flowers and cards and calls and gifts sent to her. All this so she can say that her daughters in America recognize that she is an American mother by proxy or something. She's funny about things like that, but I guess it's always a good thing to make your mother happy with something so simple.(Adrienne I. , Yerevan , Armenia)

Alamo Indiana Motels

 

I wanted to tell you that the orchids I sent my mother in the hospital really lifted her spirits. She was thrilled to see them because she has orchids at home that she hasn't seen in almost a month. They couldn't be moved, but I wanted to give her something that reminded her of home. They were delivered in the morning, and I was able to visit her in the early evening. They looked as great as I thought they would, and my mother was beaming. Thank you.(Noreen V., Porterville CA )

Alamo Indiana Hotels

 

As a society, we tend to send flowers out of feelings of guilt for not being in a place we would normally be. Before the advent of automobiles and airplanes, we wouldn't stray too far from home (except in a few cases), and so we didn't have a need for sending gifts through the mail, or the Internet, or using FTD, or some other wire service. But we are products of our times, and because even nuclear families are so far flung, and because husbands and wives often live and work on different continents from one another, we have this need to send gifts to one anther in lieu of being there. What we're acknowledging is that we usually do what we can to make compromises between how we would like to live and how we would like to be close to one another. It's apparently socially acceptable to be apart like this as long as we can send each other things that remind us of this emotional connection even though there's no physical connection. ROCK ON, BROTHER!!!(Rey V. , Nagoya , Japan)
