While flowers are a beautiful complement to a service for a few minutes, that will surely fade in the cold elements outside on Monday, so please ... should you be contemplating a gift of flowers or plants in honor of Ilavee, she would have asked you to strongly consider, alternatively, making one or more direct personal gifts/contributions to needy children in your respective communities during this Christmas Season.
