Hanging Gardens by maggiemae

Hanging Gardens

These are hung at short intervals all the way down the main street in Oamaru on both sides. I wish mine looked like this.

A busy and eventful day with the first of the funerals. Many tears shed but the tears of the children were hard to listen to particularly, 5 year old Ruby's sisters.

Three good things:
1. No time to sit and think, it was go, all day!
2. Many many people donated their time, food, and support for the family. One lady who was in the food business, catered for two function at no cost.
3. All the guys wore pink ties!
Main street must look beautiful!

What a thoughtful gesture by the men! How heartbreaking for all involved especially the children! Tragedy always seems worse when they are involved!

@happypat Was a bit shattering, Pat. Good to have family to share it with, though! Haven't been able to post for 2 days!

A beautiful shot, but such a terribly sad day. I can't imagine how awful it must be to lose such a small child.

A lovely hanging basket, but what a sad day. No life should have to end that early. I can't even imagine how Ruby's family must feel.

So so hard for you all Maggie. Great that you have each other but nothing makes up for the awful time you are all going through. So wonderful that people are supporting you all and the flowers are lovely.
