B G's Florist

My father and mother-in-law live near BG florist. Many years ago I asked her to tell me her favorite florist and she said BG's. Over a long distance phone line I thought she said VG, thank goodness she also gave me the phone number. We live in Atlanta and they have delivered flowers for me for every special occasion for my in-laws for the last at least 15 years. After the delivery she would always call and tell me how beautiful the flowers were and describe each one. One time I tried an online offer for a dot com florist which sounded good, but was awful in reality, they come in a box dropped at your door and the recipient has to put it together, not easy for older hands. Not to mention takes the special out of receiving flowers. She scolded me and said how much better the flowers from BG's were. Sometimes I would call at the last minute and the owner would always deliver them for me without fail. He would remember the date of my in-laws anniversary and worry when I didn't call in a timely manner. The owner has always been so thoroughly helpful and touchingly would recall what my mother-in-law liked, her favorite flowers and colors and he would also tell me what my father-in-law had been in to order for her so that we wouldn't get the same thing. Sadly, this week I will be calling for the last time for flowers for my sweet mother-in-law. We will be there to see the beautiful flowers she loved so much at her funeral. There have been so many happy occasions in the past when BG's lovely arrangements were part of the joy . I know the flowers will be just as faithfully beautiful for her on this sad day. I will miss her calling me to tell me all about them. I want to say thank you, you have gone above and beyond, never let me down, have gone out of your way to deliver flowers for my husband and me even at the last minute when dates snuck up on us and have been altogether wonderful all of these years. Thank you so much for the years of excellent, unsurpassed customer service.
