Hello Patricia,
I am Michael Fox, son of Micki Nellis of Cleburne, Texas. Mom recently passed away and we are going to dedicate an iris garden to her at the JN Long Cultural Complex this Easter. I would like permission to use your photo of "Pinkness" in our facebook and email announcement when we inform family and friends of the memorial service and garden dedication. I will need to crop the photo to fit the format, and I would like to remove the text at the bottom if that's OK with you. I'm very happy to include a (C)2011 Patricia (lastname) or a photo-by credit in the announcement. Pinkness was her favorite cultivar.
Please let me know if this is acceptable to you, and I appreciate your consideration.
My direct email is [removed by dave] if that is a faster communication for you.
-Michael
