Just wanted you all to know that a dear friend of mine is going through a lot right now. Ramona is a lily friend who has brought a lot to many of our gardens through her connections beyond our borders. She is a wonderful woman. The last year has brought sadness to her and her husband through a series of detrimental health issues that her husband has suffered. She is spending all of the time she has with her husband as he battles cancer and has been transferred into hospice care.
My thoughts and prayers are with her. It is never easy to watch the ones you love battle and suffer. The announcement below has been released for her Fall catalog.
FALL 2012
Due to a family crisis I will be unable to sell lilies this fall for Faraway Flowers. My attention is needed at home right now as my husband battles cancer. Your business is important to me and I plan to have offerings in the Spring and hope you, my loyal customers, will return for my sales at that time. I appreciate your support as I tend to personal matters beyond my control.
Lilies offerred by Hartle-Gilman will not be affected, as they are shipped from Minnesota, not here in Maine. Those will be available as they previously have been for 2012 Fall ordering. Their listings will be updated soon.
