On Wednesday Pasadena had a day of much-needed rain, but our families spent a beautiful day working alongside other Donate Life volunteers on the float. We’ve met so many wonderful people from across the country, all touched in some way by donation and transplantation.
One very special moment of the day was when, at Ryan’s request, he and Joann were allowed to help place the floragraphs of Chris and Phil on the float. Their floragraphs are in a wonderful location, very visible right in the center of the float. Joann hasn’t been told where she will be seated on the float yet, but there is a seat right below the floragraphs of Phil and Chris. Hmmmmm……..
Below are just a few quick photos from the day.
Yes, that's our Joann, high up in the scaffolding, pasting flowers on the float!
During the parade, be sure to check out Joann's handywork in the flames high above the front of the float
Ryan spent a good part of the day climbing up and down the scaffolding, supplying his mom and other "petal pasters" with materials
Joann's nephew, Andrew, on the float pasting on flowers
Watch for Chris and Phil on the camera-side of the float. Look in the center of the Phoenix stem, right above the middle set of riders on that side. I will know in a couple of hours where i will be seated–but the floragraphs are more important anyway!!
