Make Someone Smile Week

 It has been 10 years now that we have been participating in the Make Someone  Smile Week festivities.  Every year one week in July is dedicated to the make someone smile week.  This is an activity involving a joint effort between Teleflora, local wholesale flower suppliers and local teleflora florists.  What we do is Teleflora  provides us with the big yellow happy face mugs, Telefloras Be Happy Bouquet 03J500 and the local flower suppliers provide  us with the flowers and we the florists assemble and deliver them.  


This year Kings Florist  will be delivering smiles to the Deer Lodge Hospital, Lions Manor and Misericordia Health Centre.

Celebrating Life is Not Just for Funerals

In the past 6 weeks I had 2 family members pass away.  It was very sad because they were only 47 and 51 years old respectively.  One had cancer in remission which flared up suddenly again; then she was gone in a matter of days.  The other had a stroke suddenly with no warning at all.  Both deaths were a source of great loss and sadness for the family.

When a funeral comes together, it comes together very quickly.  You notify as many family members as you can and get as many of them to pay their respects as possible.  Half of the people there you haven't seen for years.  Many have come to pay respects to someone they barely know. It seems families only come together for weddings and funerals and then go about their lives. You find out things about the deceased at their funeral that you never ever knew about them, because they were not a part of your life when they were alive.

Funerals are about celebrating someone's life but you don't have to wait till they are in a box.  Appreciating people while they live is at least as important.  The last lesson of those who are taken too quickly and too young is that life is far too short.  Seize the day because today will never come again.  We just do not have time for pride and pettiness.

If there is someone you haven't seen for a long time, make the call.  Send the email.  Don't put it off.  Life is full of missed opportunities and tomorrow may be too late.

Sympathy Arrangements - You will always remember them.

There comes a time in our lives when someone we love passes on and life leads us to face many obstacles.  One of these is making the final arrangements and the execution of the will.  At this time, if you are an executor of the will, in many cases the flower tributes can be billed directly to the estate, saving the executor some expense.  At Kings Florist, in many cases we are able to do this.  *call for details* at 1-800-563-3637. or visit our website at http://www.winnipegflorist.info/
