Emmy -

What a cool title -- the Dead Mother's Club.

My family owned a fairly famous restaurant on the North Shore of Long Island in NY. My aunt was one of the key managers at one point. Every mother's day she would buy pink and white carnations. Every woman customer would get a pink or white carnation that day. If the lady's mother was still living she was presented with a pink carnation. If her mother had gone on, she received a white.

Here's your carnation.

Hugs,

EJ (wearing white carnation -- see Eleanor Victoria post)
