Tom's Cowboy Boots


My cousin Leeanne called me up Saturday morning the day before Uncle Tom's viewing and told me she had a pair of his boots and if I would like to do something with them. Of course ! It would be an honor and a thrill to do an arrangement for her. I asked for some out door pictures of him. Sent them off to the printer and this is what I came up with.

The boots looked beautiful and you did a great job with the arrangements. They will be a wonderful keepsake for Leeanne.

You did such a beautiful job on these - your inspiration must have been your Dad's workboots! Isn't it interesting the things we cling to and remember about a person we love after they are gone? You really outdid yourself and these will always be a wonderful keepsake to Leanne. I'm sure she loves them, as we all did when we saw them. Great job; and much appreciation for your love.

Those are nice looking boots, are you sure that Tom actually wore them more than once? Mom and Dad always talked about Tom and Margie being bow-and-arrow hunters. It is fun seeing photos of him on the hunt.
