When they read the post and knew they had picked up the missing lily they promised to replace it the next time they returned to The Villages.
True to their word, they returned and put some tulips on the Memorial bench.
Your brother and sister-in-laws certainly deserve any and all kudos received for their honesty. At the same time we all know there are others, not quite as honest as Ray & Linda, are who would not have any hesitation to shamelessly take what what they know they are stealing (not finding like Ray & Linda did) and from a place they know it belongs.

May I suggest to anyone who runs into a similar occurance to consider, the next time, donating to a charity they know their loved one supported and do so in their memory instead of doing the flower placement. You not only honor your loved one, but as a bonus you also do somthing good for others at the same time! Again, kudos to Ray & Linda!
