Knowing that my friend who is about to be 80 years old is struggling on a very fixed and tight income and only has one living family member...I decided on a party idea which would help us as a group celebrate her life, yet help her financially without disrupting her pride. We have asked 80 of her friends, extended family and church members to write a small note, words of wisdom, memory, etc on a note card and attach a $5 bill to the note. We are then going to take each of the 80 notes and 80 $5 bills and attach each to a flower and present her with the bouquet.
