?? A Heartfelt Tribute to Miss Mary and Flowers Just 4 U ?? The heart of Miss Mary’s work has always been the flowers themselves. When asked what brought her the most joy, she shared, “Working with the fresh flowers and really getting to feel a deep connection to nature’s beauty.” Her ability to share this connection with the community made her business incredibly fulfilling. For years, Miss Mary poured love into each arrangement, whether it was for weddings, funerals, or the everyday bouquet. The shop’s “grab-and-go” bouquets became a local favorite, a testament to the care she put into every order. As Miss Mary closed the doors of Flowers Just 4 U this January, she left behind a legacy of quality, community, and connection. She is deeply grateful for the long-lasting support that kept her shop running, and we are incredibly thankful for all the memories she created in our neighborhood. On this Valentine’s Day, we’re thinking of you, Miss Mary, and the lasting impact your work has had. We miss seeing you at the shop for our orders, but your legacy will always bloom in our hearts. ?? Byrd Barr Place salutes you, Miss Mary! #FlowersJust4U #CommunityLegacy #MissMary #ThankYou #LocalBusinessLove #ValentinesDay
