Why Marigolds?

February 23, 2017 was our family’s worst day ever. But for another family it was one of their BEST days ever as they welcomed the birth of their baby Marigold. A friend told this story to me two days after Andrea’s passing and Marigold’s birth and it immediately shined a light in my heart. My thoughts turned from my deep sadness to that family’s joy. It helped me get through those terrible days. That spring I planted Marigolds in our front yard as a constant reminder of the amazing woman I loved and that JOY is still present in the world.

Proceeds from this annual marigold sale have helped our family establish an annual scholarship in Andrea’s name that is presented to a graduating senior at our community’s high school. A student from Hamburg High School who is preparing to enter into the field of education will receive much needed funds to start their college career. As many of you know, Andrea was an exemplary teacher who always held her students in her heart. We would like to help others who are dedicating their lives to educating our young children.
