A year ago today, Sylvia Murray lost her valiant struggle against breast cancer. Most of us only knew Sylvia through her posts on the Dis, but her kind heart, sense of fun, courage, and most of all, her love for her young son Nick, shone through her words.
When Sylvia passed away, Vanessa (Amid Chaos), suggested we plant perennials as a tribute to Sylvia. On last year's Garden Me This thread, some of us took up Vanessa's wonderful idea and planted flowers that will come back every year, to remind us, sometimes with a tear, but hopefully with a smile too, of a woman who touched so many hearts.
Please join me in remembering Sylvia today, with a thought, a picture, poem, or special memory.
~ A beautiful blossom is a fleeting thing
It stays for a moment and then takes wing.
With special rays we catch it ere flight
So all may enjoy the beautiful sight. ~
