Center Texas Cemetery

 

I received one of your gift baskets from my sister in Paris, Texas, last weekend. I was expecting flowers when the courier pulled up outside, so imaging my surprise to receive a "Junk Food Bucket"! Perfect for a lazy birthday!(John Van Der Velde, San Antonio TX )

How do you get your flowers to last so long? Our anniversary was weeks ago, and the roses are still going strong. Roses aren’t supposed to last this long, are they?(Phoebe E. , Temecula CA )

You folks are amazing. How can a simple little plant shaped like an exploding star mean so much to some people? I may never know, but at least I know that you've made it much easier to make things like this mean so much to people. Flowers, I mean. It's a good thing you're doing, is what I'm trying to say. Did I say that?(Karl P. , Vienna , Austria)

Once again, the power of flowers shows that business really does get done by greasing the skids. I could not even get someone to handle my phone call for a prospective client until I sent flowers to the rep's receptionist. They do open doors. Thanks for helping me see exactly what I could get and where I could get it to.(Celeste L. , Turlock CA )

Good gracious! Just about everything went wrong with my sister's wedding. It was her third marriage, and I don't know what she was expecting mixing her dogs in the ceremony with the swans in a makeshift pool. It might have been funnier if I wasn't trying to hold it all together. Maybe I'll laugh about it someday. I wanted to tell you that despite the various disasters, your flowers came through with flying colors. It was something that I and the guests and the wedding party could all fix our hopes on for the day and it just about saved everyone from a total breakdown. Dear God in Heaven, I hope you people don't go away by he time she gets to her fourth.(Sandy T., Springfield IL )

Center Texas Delivery

 

Flowers are sometimes the most powerful message you can send someone. Just the fact of getting some roses causes people to change their minds, change their jobs, change their lives. I received a dozen roses from a certain lady friend a while back, and I'm not ashamed to say that I was moved. Though I can't say for certain why I was so affected by her act, I can say that I returned the favor. We both used your services, so for that I thank you. From one old Marine who didn't realize he would have this kind of response to simple flowers.(Dionne E., Sumter SC )

My father recently died and it was left to me to make sympathy arrangements. Your sensitivity coupled with the flowers you arranged helped make a sad day one of happiness. Thanks to all involved(Edi Garner, Portland OR )

The wonder of flowers! My neighbor and I had been feuding for months, ever since my sycamore allegedly dropped all of its leaves onto their vegetable garden. It escalated from there, and one point the common fence was on fire. (Don't ask.) Anyway, my wife of all people, sent them flowers and then boom, it was over. We all sat down to lunch and had an interesting talk. I can't say that we're buddy buddy neighbors, but we no longer try and damage each other's property.(Hector V., Birmingham AL )

I wanted to tell you that there's a new mother that appreciated the delivery of flowers to her bedside. My granddaughter entered the world last week. Sadly, the father could not be there because he's in Afghanistan. I saw the flowers arrive, and I saw the gleam in my daughter's eyes because she knew instantly who they were from. I saw the card and I thought I would share this with you because I was a little surprised that someone in Afghanistan could order flowers that look as nice as these. I saw you were on the Internet, so I'm writing to you to say thank you on behalf of my two girls.(Adrienne O. , Owensboro KY )

I had screwed up every anniversary gift since we were married. Last year, I got my wife what she asked for... in the wrong size. That was a disaster. I thought flowers would be the safe choice this year. You know, nothing ostentatious or gaudy, just something small to say how much I appreciated being married to this wonderful woman. I'm very appreciative that your phone operator took the time to help me choose a bouquet. I didn't think it would get much of a reaction other than not letting me screw up another gift. But I got the warmest reception from a present that I ever got from her. I guess that wasn't too hard, since my other gifts really stunk it up, but I'm appreciative that you took the time to hold my hand through the process to get something really great. That's all I have to say.(Joey P., Santa Rosa CA )
