Now an awesome story. Bonnie had a lady come in the wholesale nursery today. The lady was bringing in a poster for a Golf Scramble Benefit for her husband Gary Kane who died last year. Bonnie told the lady she would speak to John about it and see if the Nursery could sponsor a hole and get back to her. The lady said she also wanted to let them know that all proceeds were going to 2 people in the area in need, one is a little 2 yr old girl with cancer and the other Hank Rafferty. Bonnie at this point began to cry and said do you mean Henry Rafferty and she said Yes. By this time Bonnie was sobbing and she looked at the lady and said "That is my son".
