It saves money and heartache to pay a professional to trim/cut trees. Believe me, this is coming from a person who is tight with money and a husband who grew up cutting trees and such. We need trees cut--we will hire someone to do it.Dinahsoarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03877872564454797447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9008375791436102784.post-68697710387268953032011-04-08T07:57:47.825-04:002011-04-08T07:57:47.825-04:00Your card is PERFECT . . . especially when conside...Your card is PERFECT . . . especially when considering the reason for it.

The man was trimming a tree as he'd done for his whole life (his dad had been a professional arborist). He received help right away, but the closed head brain injury was too severe, and he died about two weeks later. His wife loves to work in their flowerbeds, so a nature theme seemed appropriate, but flowers seemed a bit too cheerful.Susan Raihalahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03018860599601419989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9008375791436102784.post-58181920281083639562011-04-08T07:01:56.532-04:002011-04-08T07:01:56.532-04:00Tragic accident - sometimes those deaths are the t...Tragic accident - sometimes those deaths are the toughest because there's no time for goodbyes.
