Full Of Love Bouquet was purchased for the family of J.C. Bennett.
JC Bennett was my first true love! We spent a few wonderful years together. I have thought of him offen through out the years since we lost contact. He taught me how to Deer Hunt, Garden. Canning and to love old cars! I still have my first gun that he bought me for deer hunting! I cherish my memories of our time together. I was very young then and still think about the bet Jim, Gary and JC had that they would never get married again and who won the bet? I could not over come my desire for that commitment and that I was worthy of marriage and left our relationship because of that. I have always thought about him and wonder what our life together would of been like if I would of stayed. He was a beautiful human being and he will be so missed from every one that knew him. Rest in peace my dear friend.
