The Flower Shop Ladies

Submitted by News Staff on Thu, 01/05/2017 - 5:00am

Two days after Christmas the flower shop ladies were hoping to complete a few funeral arrangements, tidy up the shop and take the rest of the day and the next off. Just as Liz Lassere and Ouida Faucheux were explaining how unpredictable their business is, there was a quick crescendo of activity. A caller ordered a casket bouquet to be delivered to Edgard the next day. Another caller wanted plants delivered to the same funeral. The part-time help went to deliver a large plant arrangement ordered late for a funeral that was about to begin. The doorbell rang to summon someone to the front lobby to tend to a woman who was there to order a casket bouquet for another funeral. At the same time, the wholesaler parked his refrigerated truck out the back door and was ready to fill an order for fresh flowers.

It took twelve years, but the day that hundreds of former Cypress Grove High School students and faculty had envisioned has finally come to fruition.
 
It all began twelve years ago when more than 500 Cypress Grove former students and faculty, who came from 20 states and 75 cities, attended a Cypress Grove High School reunion held in Lutcher, and out of that reunion came the idea of doing something to forever honor and remember the school for African-Americans in Lutcher.

Many people are on the transplant list, awaiting the gift that can only come from a generous donor or their family.
