Dear Friends:
My House burned down on St. Patricks Day. I lost everything including the wonderful collection of seeds you were so generous to share with me. I am at a loss for words to explane the sorrow I am feeling. Spring is late arriving this year, today is starting out at 37*. I have desided to try again so if anyone has extra seed that you find you cannot use I would love to give them a home in my garden. Please let me know if you have something that I could put to work.

Thank You All so very much. I have been overwhelmed with your generousity and today my tears are from the kindness of your love touching my heart. God bless you and yours, my garden is the the most healing and hopefull thing that I have. Daves Garden has changed my life, as I would have given up and moved to town had it not been for you all coming to help in my greatest time of sorrow and need. I was feeling empty and hopeless and now I am so looking to the future and the love and life returning to a very sad and ugly expierence. Your expression of compassion is so heart warming and life changing...no words can discribe the change it has made in my complete outlook on the expeirence.
Thank you again for every day now is a NEW BEGINNING! Many blessings to you all. Susie_Q
Susie_Q,
I echo the sentiments of all those who've posted above. We suffered a similar loss some 16 months ago and, although difficult and trying, there are brighter days.
Please send me your address so that I may help you start your new garden. In the meantime, may the Lord cradle you and yours in His loving arms. God Bless!
Oh my gosh. I cant imagine what you have gone through. My sympathy is with you . I send guardian angels over you at this time SusieQ I would like you to go my list and pick what you would like. You can view pictures of some of the flowers. Think of us when you sow these seeds of hope and inspiration. Michele
I'm sooooooooo very sorry to hear about your home, Susie_Q. :(
Terri
Dear susie. I am so sorry for you and yours As a fireman/medic I have stood with many families as they suffered such losses and my heart goes out to you. I have some duplicates of things kind gardeners have sent me on the site and I will gladly share with you. Gods blessings.
Hi Susie-Q!
It will be a pleasure to send you any seeds you choose from my list if this helps to put a smile in your face. Don't be shy - let me know which ones you want.
