Santa Rosa - Roses of Resilience, Day 27

11/11/2017

1 Comment

 
Today's rose is titled "Coffey Lane." Many of those who bought rose paintings left me with the option of choosing the name. I have named several after the addresses and streets of friends who lost their homes. My intent in naming the roses after streets, friends, landmarks, etc., is to honor those who lost so much, and to spread some beauty around in a very difficult time. Please help me honor some of your family and friends by suggesting titles for the roses I have been left to name. The names will take on even greater meaning with such a personal connection. You can make the suggestion here. If you have my email, I'd welcome that as well. If you could, and if you feel comfortable doing so, please share something about the family, friend, landmark, etc.

Hi Tom,
I purchased my roses to thank those who worked tirelessly to raise funds to support our Schaefer school families in Coffey Park. The outpouring of love and support from as far away as New Jersey, Arizona, Indiana, and points between has been unbelievable. We truly are “one nation under God, indivisible”. In times of crisis, politics and prejudice go out the window, and we are left with raw humanity. It’s a beautiful thing. That said, I don’t have a specific title to suggest. Just thought I’d share some of my perspective as inspiration. Thank you for being one of those selfless souls who gave of themselves for the good of so many ❤️
