Sue stopped in on Mother’s Day to receive her flowers as she was going to see her 93 year old Mother. We felt that she should also be recognized for Mother’s Day and offered a teapot with flowers. here is a message from Sue. it’s moments like these that make our job her worthwhile.

“I wanted to say thank you to Beneva! What a wonderful day, being chosen as Sarasota’s Favorite Mom! The whole staff was absolutely wonderful, kind and friendly when I came in to get my flowers. The Lenox vase is the most beautiful one I have every seen. It’s totally awesome to know that I actually own one. The winning of this title very much overwhelmed me. I know that I love my children more that words can express. They have grown into wonderful adults. Thank you for the Teapot arrangement you gave me for my 93 year old mother. It made her cry. Every Mother’s day, from now on, will have very special memories of the Beneva family and mine. Thank you from the bottom of my heart…”
