Yes, I did. I made flowers out of wire and then had a florist incorporate them into a beautiful live flower bouquet. I was to distraught that day to take a picture of it. My co-workers say that they got pictures, so hopefully I will get one from them soon.

Sounds beautiful, I bet he loved it. A thoughtful gift.

You and the Guys At Work will probably be sending a rememberance
to the funeral home for calling hours...

I finished my telephone wire bouquet.
I wound up taking a dozen wire flowers to a florist.
I had her incorporate them into a beautiful live flower bouquet.
Instead of a card, I used one of our tags that we
always use to tag our cables.

What you did for his Party (the Wire Bouquet, above) would be
an Excellent presentation for his Final Tribute...

Another Wire Bouquet with Live or Silk Flowers added;
and then have each one of the Crew Sign the Cable Tag below
a few Kind Words...

If you or one of the Guys can deliver it to the funeral home
prior to calling hours -
you will have the opportunity to speak with the Funeral Director.
When they KNOW that an arrangement has Special Significance to
the Family, they will take extra care to display it near the casket
so that it doesn't get *lost* from view.

And - be sure to ask that they Send It Home with a Family Member.

That's a great idea! Thank you. I'll talk to the guys about it tomorrow morning.

The Kendalls send our sympathies. I'm glad he went painlessly. Please pass our condolences to his family.

I am so sorry to hear about that. I know how deeply you cared for him. He's no longer in pain and I'm sure he knows how much you cared for him. I'm glad you made the flower boquet. That was very sweet of you to do.
