The gift of the magnolia tree was received so well by my friend who lost her dad. She and her family, including her mom, his widow, were moved to tears. My friend planted the tree in her yard and as they marveled at it, a cardinal sang joyfully before flying away. Later, her landscaper completed the memorial and she can visit with her dad whenever she wants. I thank you for such a lovely way to remember a loved one. --Lisa
