Husband’s Bouquet Arrived After His Death, Now His Wife has Lined an Entire Street with Daffodils as a Memorial

The bouquet arrived unexpectedly, six months after her husband passed away.

Before he died, Stephen Cudmore had arranged a delivery of daffodils for his wife Marilyn’s next birthday, knowing full well he probably wouldn’t be there.

“ Hello beautiful ! Happy birthday, Steve ”

The surprise gift gave Marilyn an idea. She thought back to her final day with Steve and remembered how peaceful he was. He sat in their sunroom for hours, staring outside through a window—and smiling at the daffodils.

Marilyn wanted to plant some in his memory. She bought a few hundred bulbs from local sources and started planting them along her street in East Sooke, British Columbia, a town about 26 miles west of Victoria.

Before long, Marilyn’s memorial drew the attention of some friends from her book club.
