if you don't mind me asking how do they look now???
Allie Lungstrom The roses held up exceptionally well and so did some of the smaller flowers! although I keep them in a decorative box because I have a swamp cooler and the swamp cooler had a bad effect on the flowers
Kelly Barlow Creations You have such a beautiful family and a beautiful strong spirit. I love this idea! New subscriber! Hugs from Houston Texas

LaKendra Montgomery thank u... and WELCOME to my channel 😘
Extending deep and heartfelt sympathy to you and your family 😔 BEAUTIFUL video!!! 🌹🌹🌺🌺
The fact that she had the mental energy to make this video so soon afterwards makes a big statement on who she is as a person. Very strong minded, bless you.
She is a very amazing young woman!!!!
Your Mom raised a wonderful daughter ! God Bless you !
Yes she did. Kelly is an honor to her.
You sounded like you were gonna cry the whole time honestly broke my heart ❤️ ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
omg, I feel like such a jerk. I clicked on this video, didn't think it was anything but the usual diy video... and i was like 'why does she seem so solemn? on a diy video?' so sorry about your mom... so impressive that you're able to make a vid in the midst of your loss.
Jennie Lin Thank u, and thank u for watching!
Jennie Lin
May your mom's soul rest in peace....
Thank you so much Kelly for showing this beautiful technique with us.
What a positive and lovely way to honor your mom.
You did a great job and I know you were about to break down several times. Don't worry cause I did it for you...all the way through it! The end with pictures of your Mom really really got to me. What a wonderful way to honor your Mom.
+Greta Albritton Thank u.... xoxo!
I found this video because I just lost my mum and I wanted to preserve some flowers from my mum’s funeral. Thank you, your video was the perfect find. I’m so sorry for your loss and thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge. ❤
Oh how I wished I had saw this video over 4 years ago when my son took his life. I saved the flowers and dried and pressed them. They all molded over time. Broke my heart to have to throw them out. Hope the wax dip ones held up for you. Much love
Bless you, Kelly. I was on a process of discovery, looking for a video about preserving flowers. I found this wonderful film, preserving your love for your mother and your feelings at this difficult time.
so sorry for your loss
True Binaural & ASMR Me too in 2017!
So sorry you've lost your Mom. This video made me cry. I still have my mom, but I so often think about how will I ever live without her. I'm 42 years old and have always thought my Mom was the bomb! She is truly my best friend. I cannot not imagine your pain and don't even think its possible. As bad as it hurts to just think about mine being gone, I know that will never compare to how bad it really hurts. God Bless You. I'm def. keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. The video was just beautiful!
Thank u Cindy... I really appreciate the kindness that people like your self have shown me!!! I miss my mom horribly :( it's a hard new chapter in my life not having her to talk to anymore!!! Thank u for ur prayers I could use them!!!
oh Kelly I love your video and your Mother is a beautiful woman. She is watching you and your family from Heaven with Jesus now. I admire your courage and composure during that difficult time making this video! such pretty flowers and an awesome idea! thanks again

You are amazing. Thank you for sharing something so intimate. I did lose my mom 14 years ago and I wish I had this knowledge then. Currently my mother in law is also leaving this world from cancer so I am searching to find some way to capture her day. Thank you so much, please know that you are passing this to another caring and loving family. Sending love your way
the reason why I watched the video because I went to a friends funeral and got a flower and wanted to keep it
Xxxxx hugs to u.... I'm so sorry for your loss!!
Beautiful video in memory of your mom !!! I pray for peace and comfort for you and your family. I lost my mom twenty years ago and would have loved to save her flowers. They were beautiful like she was. I still miss and love her much !!!! I feel your pain !!!!! Just know she is in the arms of the Lord now with no pain and no suffering !!!!!...yet she is all around. stay strong and keep the FAITH !!!!!! Blessings and prayers always!!!!!
Thank you so much, I have just lost my grandfather, who raised me from 6 months on. I am attempting the same idea. Tribute at the end was beautiful, it brought me to tears. Again, I know its been a year and some months but thank you, and I am truly sorry for your loss:(
First memorial I’ve ever seen on UA-cam after a craft tourtorial this is so personal and so lovely,thank you for sharing with us RIP mom.
Thank you for the video, and I'm so sorry to hear about your mom. Ignore the haters. I get rude, hateful comments on all of my videos too. People are just very mean spirited these days. Your video was great and it also made me cry! I thought you did a great job and I never thought of preserving flowers with wax.
Thank u so much for ur support!!! I honestly wouldn't take it to heart on any other video but this one... There's just ugly people like that out there....
It's obvious through the way that you carry yourself that your Mother was a wonderful woman as seen through you. loved parents passed will always be missed.
You're loving mom is with you and will always be with you. Thank you for these ideas.
I also lost my mother at her young age (cancer) I wish I had thought or known of such a nice idea so thank you for sharing this for others to have such a great loving way of honoring not only the passing of a loved one but also all those who also loved them by preserving their thoughts thru nature's flowers. Rev 21:4
Xoxo....
I know this video was posted awhile ago, but my heart goes out to you and your family. I find it so beautiful you took something terrible and made something beautiful from it, I hope by now the sorrow isn't as heavy.
You know I've been marathoning. I had skipped this video because I was trying to watch the DIYs i was interested in. Now I'm going back for the other videos. Im hoping not to open back up healing wounds. Losing a mother is hard, but the good memories keep our loved ones in our heats and minds. Thank you for sharing pictures of your. BEAUTIFUL mom. And the memories of you inheriting her crafty personality. GOD BLESS.
Jossie B Parzons thank u Jessie!!! As I miss my mom terribly and it still feels like just yesterday that she passed I am now finding myself able to smile at memories instead of almost always crying.... not a day goes by that I don't think of her! Hugs to u and thank u for your words!!!
I know this video is old but as your mom looked down and saw how much you appreciate Gods beauty I bet she beamed with pride.
TIP!!!!
fast dip is correct as heat causes wilt, cooling your plants first helps too, but don't freeze!
dry your flowers upright with water and soda bottles, or any container the plant can't fall into. rubber bands criss crossed around a box works well. the wax is heavy and can team up with wilt to pull the petals closed,.
hanging Upside down for drying flowers helps keep petals from breaking off, but waxing eliminates that problem.
placing upright helps preserve the original shape, plus you can nudge odd petals and shy leaves into perfect formation as it dries fairly fast.
for super delicates, brush the wax on with a soft paintbrush or Qtip,
l soy wax melts well in the microwave, 2 minute intervals, stir between, till liquid, let it cool as much as possible while keeping it runny to avoid wilt, dip FAST! then add layers as desired.
add drops of wax to mimic dew, or use was as glue to attach little embellishments
Race Smith you can dip in granulated sugar for a frosted tip, esp nice with daffodils , snow drops and blue bells, crocus and most winter/spring flowers and gives a very delicate shimmer .
Race Smith great info. Thanks for sharing.
You sound like a PRO 😘😘😘
Hi Kelly. I've enjoyed watching many of your videos as a new subscriber. I just came across this one and along with everyone else, I'm so sorry for the loss of your mom. It is a testimony to your love of her and the character she instilled in you, for you to do this in her honor and help many people who have wondered what to do with all the beautiful flowers afterwards. When you spoke of things she would say if she was seeing you do this, was simply precious. And lastly I'd like to say that you have this to watch and remember those sweet thoughts as time does fade memories and now you have these preserved, just like the beautiful flowers. May your heart find peace with the knowledge that one day you will see her again. God bless sweet lady.
I was just curious how to dip flowers because I love them so much but this video broke my heart. my mom is still with us and we thank God almighty every day. She has always been a wonderful mother to us (five children) and such a devoted wife to our father, her husband of 48 years. she is 65 and has some serious health issues so I worry about her.
Your mother was not only a stunningly handsome woman, it seems that she was also a beautiful person inside and out. i can see the love you all had for her and she for you all; her children, grandchildren, etc. It's apparent that you miss her a lot but she's truly in a better place. Not just a cliche, I really believe that!
I am so sorry for the loss of your beloved Mother. She was a very beautiful lady. From the pictures you posted I am certain you will have a lifetime of precious memories. Hang on to them dearly.
Thank you for this video. I don't know you but I admire your strength ! I wish you and your loved ones a lot of happiness !!
Thanks for sharing... My mother recently passed away (just a few weeks ago) and I'm looking for a way to preserve a rose in her memory. Sweet of you to share this and sorry for your loss. Great video. ;)
Hi Kelly, just came across this video. Loss of a mother is so hard to get over. They give birth to you, they raise you, they feed and cloth you, they do pretty much everything for you while you're a child. I wish I would have known about this when I lost my mom 1/26/2017. Now I know thank you Kelly, you are an inspiring one of a kind woman😌bless you and hold onto that knowing you two will be reunited someday❤
So sorry for you loss. Years ago my aunt used to do this processing with flowers and sell them. She has passed on to be with the Lord this will always remind me of her.
Blessings to u and ur family,don't be sad remember your mom will always be watching over y'all,I'm sure she looking at her family now with hearts in her eyes.
Thank u.....
Thank you for this amazing video, I didn't know you could do this! God bless you also during this difficult time 😇
This is many years later but my deepest sympathy to you!
I love how beautiful the wax makes the flowers look! What a wonderful way to preserve the beauty of these flowers and memories of your Mom! I love that she would say - how cool where did you get that idea. She is ever proud of you! Your loss is temporary and you will be reunited one fantastic day. My heart breaks hearing the pain in your voice! But you thought enough of us to share this ingenious idea! God Bless You Sweetheart! You are loved!!!
My mom called me little bud. She said I was a bud (the little flower she gave birth to.) We are our mothers the good and sometimes the bad.. but I see my mom everyday in the things I do. She is never far away.. So little bud the flower dipping is you and your mom coming back together. Flowers beautiful and what beauty bringing you back together... Hugs Sheryl
I wish this video had been around when my grandma passed away! I would've loved to have some keepsake roses from her services. I'm so sorry for your loss!
Loved the presentation pointed me in the right direction. Thanks your a doll.
I am so sorry. But knowing and watching you gives me a glimpse of your mother. And I can tell that she had passion and had a good soul.
I'm so sorry for your loss. Losing a parent is one of the most difficult and painful experiences to go through. My dad was a professional musician. When he passed away, my mother and I made a life sized replica of his Fender Strat (Electric Guitar) for his casket spray. We made it out of white tear drop roses (they literally had tear drops on them)with white glittered doves for the tuning pegs. Underneath I had attached a lace gauzey type white sheer material that covered the coffin and hand stitched matching baby roses and matching doves as trim on the material. That was in 2005. We preserved the entire spray in a shadow box and it is one of the most beautiful floral creations I have ever seen and it is as perfect today as it was 10+years ago. It means a lot to our family and I know that whatever you decide to do you will cherish it for many years to come. Again, I'm truly sorry that your mom was taken from you so soon.
So touching!!! Thank you for sharing and I know your Mom would love the fact that you did this!
the "lilly of the valley" is actually an astromeria or Peruvian lilly. No judgement. Just letting you know in case you want to get more of them or plant some in the future.
I lost my mom 5 years ago and I miss her everyday.
Just know that she lives in you. You are a part of her.
💓💓💓 stay atrong
My condolences. My mother died almost a year ago and when you were talking about what your mom would have said if she knew you were dipping flowers, it sounded like what my mom would have said and I appreciated that. Thank you for posting your tutorial and sharing your feelings!
Thank u.... It's been 10 months and it feels like it's been an eternity since I've seen her... Still missing her terribly 😞
Hi I'm not sure if you call some flowers different to us in the Uk but what you are calling lily of the valley are more like crocuses
Lily of the valley are a stock with lots of little white bell shaped flowers hanging from the stock. I'm sorry for your loss and I'm sure your Mum is looking down at you and proud of what you are doing xxx
So sorry for the loss of your mom. I'm hoping this preservation process worked, as the flowers are so beautiful and sentimental. Loved the sharing of the photos at the end and the song you chose. Your mom was beautiful!

Kelly, I was moved to tears listening to the heartache in your voice as you spoke throughout this video. I too, lost my mom in October 2015. She had been diagnosed with an aggressive form of brain cancer that was inoperable 4 months previously. It was like a lightening bolt hit me. Completely unexpected. She was the strongest person I've ever known and like you and your mom we shared a love of crafting and would shop together until we dropped. I found myself in the same place as you with the array of beautiful flowers. My mom was buried along side her husband in a Nat'l Cemetery and they only allow you to take 2 arrangements to the cemetery. As soon as they become unsightly they are immediately removed and discarded. Even though it was mid October, it was hot here in NW Florida that day so I chose to only leave 4 yellow roses from the casket blanket, representing my siblings and me. I just knew I couldn't bring myself to throw all those beautiful flowers away. My heart just wouldn't allow it for some unknown reason. So I placed a large towel on my counter, a lot of those dessicant packets (that I save to pack up with my Christmas decorations) and as the petals would begin to wilt I'd pull them off, lie them on the towel and fluff them everytime I'd walk by. It took awhile but that was alright. I had a momentary mission in the midst of being a bit lost. Once they were all dried and I could move them I still didn't know what I was going to do with the petals. Then about 2 weeks before Christmas I walked past my craft desk and spotted a round clear acrylic DIY ornament I had bought but hadn't done anything with yet and immediately a light went off. Even though the ornament was acrylic it wasn't cheap looking at all. In fact, it looks like glass and after giving it more thought, I preferred the acrylic over the glass and that way if any of the recipients dropped theirs I wasn't so afraid of losing the memory because of broken glass. I was able to make a large ornament for myself, each of my siblings and 1 for each of the grandchildren. I then created a design with my cricut explore that said "Mother" 1935 - 2015 with a small yellow rose attached (Mom's favorite flower) and cut it out of vinyl and applied it to the ornaments. For the grandchildren, theirs had the same design but instead of "Mother", theirs read "Nana". I felt inspired by my Mom and like you, felt quite comfortable knowing it was something she would've loved. I have it out everyday along side her photo. I later actually found the same idea on pinterest so I suppose it wasn't my idea first but that doesn't matter. :) I feel like Mom inspired me to do it. I'm so pleased with how it turned out and my siblings and the grandchildren all loved their ornaments. My Mom did her pre-arrangements in 2000 after she recovered from stage 4 colon cancer so she actually chose and paid for her casket blanket. Every single petal of every single flower in that blanket is a gift from her and now we all share in that memory. She is always with me and I miss her everyday. She lived right next door to me and I know we'll see each other again at a time of God's choosing. I would love to send you a photo of the ornament or somehow be able to share it here. Also, I have a home based cake decorating business and the afternoon my mom passed away I had to come home a bake a cake for an order the following day. I think it may have been a good thing for me. Something to break up the steady stream of tears for a brief time. But as I put on Mom's grave marker, "Our tears will help us heal". I hope you are doing well and that you've begun to heal. It is a slow process but that's ok, too. I am so sorry for your loss and the loss your family obviously is experiencing. She had to leave you too soon.
So sorry for the loss if you precious mom. When anyone has more flowers than they need, whether in an instance like this or even from your garden you can take them to a woman's shelter or nursing home. Both would greatly appreciate it. Love to you Kelly & your family. 💞
I just came across your video today, and just want to say that this is a beautiful tribute to your mother, may she rest in peace. You are one strong lady, to be able to make a video at such a difficult time. xox
thank you so much....
Who is the one jerk who disliked this? Ugh.
I'm sorry for your loss. Great video, will do.
mike murray is this mike Murray from Cincinnati?
I am going to try growing roses here in Michigan. I have ordered 10 roses from Oregon, for delivery in May. I watched the video to look for ideas for preservation. We recently bought our dream home, kind of hobby farm, in the woods, on 16 1/2 acres. Our parents are all gone, and 2 out of 3 kids are out of state. I need something to fuss over, and every garden needs roses! When we moved, I found a stack of old phone books with small blossoms, and leaves pressed in between. Someday, I will make art with them. Also, buying apples and cider today made me weep for my mom. You are a beautiful daughter.
Your Mom will be so proud of you, watching from her special place, enveloping you in love and wishing you could see her. 🌹
Angela Rudge thank u... thank u so much for that! You have no idea how much I needed to hear that today... I miss her terribly!
honey I wanted to tell you something about flowers and wax that you may not know. In the early nineteen-hundreds it was very fashionable very Vogue 2 have flowers and wax Garland's or headpieces for your wedding. this was very popular in the twenties and even the thirties and as some women wore them without avail and the 20th to show off their body or for a very very beautiful fashionable look or on top of avail and how wonderful is that that on such a special day that you would not have to worry about you're beautiful arrangement going bad or how to preserve it. so this is very normal because the wedding is very important occasion and so is a passing and that's a really beautiful thing you do and your mother would be proud. thanks for showing me this video and I hope you know that is much cooler 2 of wax flowers that keep the piece of cake in your freezer and eat it 50 years later. I like the wax better as far as being old-fashioned. big thumbs up to you and your mom
You can use your waxed flowers and make indoor wreath for your doors .
Great idea!!!
Thanks so much for this video! I’m very sorry for your loss. I lost my mother when I was just 15 years old, so I completely understand your pain. I recently celebrated another birthday, and my sister, nieces, and nephew surprised me with a beautiful flower arrangement!💐 Your video has inspired me to do everything I can to save the memory. God Bless!🙏🏽
Please remember that ugly comments come from very unhappy and lonely people. It is a reflection on them, not you. Thank you for sharing this during your time of grief. Your helping others when you are in pain says so much about your heart. May God bless you.
sorry for ur loss dear.i wish u tonnes of love.
You can dip flowers in clear melt and pour soap also in future.
Angela Broskin sounds interesting Angela can you explain how?
Stay strong lady. We must flourish were our creator has planted us. Receive a loving hug from my family to yours.
My grandmother had a flower arrangement for over 50 years that were dipped in wax. We dusted them with a small paint brush. I remember the tulips most in the arrangement.
Hers had multiple layers of wax on them. Maybe I'd you dip two times they'll hold longer?
Lovely photos of mom. So sorry for your loss. I miss my mom every day. Especially when it comes to flower planting time. You would always pick her flowers out together.
This is a great video 👍🏾 my moms funeral was yesterday and I really want to do something with all the flowers. Thank for this ❤️ p.s. Sorry about you mr mommy 🙏🏽
Idk why mr is in there
Sorry for your loss too
Thank you so much for this wonderful video! I just lost my grandmother this passed Sunday and we had a ton of flower arrangements and I am trying to find ideas on how to preserve them and after watching this video I am so excited to try this and see if it works!! I'm just really concerned about it they are going to last.... how have your flowers looked since you dipped them in wax?
Heather Dannels So this was my problem, we have a swamp cooler that we mostly use in my house as apposed to the central air here in the summer and I'm almost positive it had an affect on the way they held up because I also tried pressing some of the flowers and had them pressing in the house in the flower press and they came out horribly!!!! And they had been in the press for 45 days!!!! Some of the flowers I dipped in wax held up and some didn't :( I'm glad I used 3 different methods because the flowers that I dried (in my garage) came out beautifully and I also dried some to use in beads...(I just made a video for the beads and they came out Beautifully) I'm Making bracelets and rosaries or I might even just put them in a glass container... I also tried pressing them in between wax paper some of the smaller filler flowers and those came out nicely and held up!! Hope I was of some help to u..... Hugs and prayers to u on this difficult day!
What a beautiful way to keep a memory of your mom alive, so sorry for your lose. I know how you feel.
I watch this video because I was trying to figure out what to do with my dad's flowers for his funeral. Just lost my dad last week. Your video was touching and you did a great honor to your mom.
Sorry for your lost. You are amazing.
First, Bless Your Heart! This video is so ironically bittersweet for me. In my search for ways to preserve flowers from my daughter's wedding, I happened across this one. My mother, from whom my craftiness skills originated, passed away in November of 2015. My heart goes out to you...there is no way I could tutor anything that involves my mother now, a year & a half later, let alone as quickly as you did this one. You are a very strong young woman & I applaud your courage! So through my efforts of healing & learning to move on, my newest distraction is preparing for, making the majority of the decorations & learning better ways to preserve the fresh flowers (I have always pressed or dried them before) for her upcoming wedding...a joyous occasion!! All the while making wonderful long-lasting memories with my own dear, beautiful daughter. Thank you for sharing such a personal experience.
Thank you Cindi... I think I must have been numb or still in disbelief that she was gone!!! Its been 2 years and I have yet to smile at our memories together, My eyes still fill with tears because I miss her so terribly! My efforts of healing is how UA-cam really came about, Something to keep me busy keep my mind busy! when she first passed i use to say that i needed to get use to my new normal :-( It's true!!! She was my best Friend! I am sorry to hear you lost your mom, That makes my heart hurt for you.... I don't wish that feeling of losing a parent on anyone!!!! Hugs to you *** Kelly
I am so sorry to hear about your mom. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
God bless and comfort you, I love what you did, just gorgeous!
Thanks so much for this video!
I am so very sorry for your loss Kelly, what a lovely thing to do, you will treasure these forever, god bless.❤
Thank you so much for making this video. I’m so sorry for your loss. I lost my boyfriend to a car accident a few days ago, I needed this for his funeral flowers. Thank you so much.
It worked really well thank you
I'm sure Kelly really appreciates that rude comment.... Just fast forward the video if you don't like how much she's talking... Ever heard of fast forwarding a video???
You are such a great daughter, you are a testament to your Mom. God bless you!
So sorry for your loss Kelly. Thank you for sharing your idea. Your mom would be proud of you, I am sure, for finding a way to keep her memory alive so beautifully.
Thank you for that!! hugs
great idea for preserving flowers. can you use beeswax for this?
I don't see why not I would think it would work just as well 😊
Thank you!
Hey Kelly how long do the roses last
Listening to her voice breaking all throughout this video just broke my heart. What a strong, beautiful lady!!.
My sympathy for your loss and I extend my sympathies to all family and friends. You have a lot of courage to come out there to teach. Yes, she is proud of you. I am a medium and she looked at all of the hard work you did and how you kept yourself together as always. She loves you ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Eliza Dolittle you just made me cry!! I often say I wish she was here to see what I’ve done here on UA-cam because she was a SAG member for the film industry and never got to see what I’ve achieved here on my channel! I miss her terribly she was my best friend 😞
So sorry for your loss Kelly I know how it feels we just find ways to honor our beautiful motners every day ♡ thanks for this beautiful idea
Thank you so much for being so candid in your video. I know how it must have been "Bitter-Sweet" to make. My heart and prayers go out to you and your family. I'm sure the feeling must still be quite new. I lost my mother, (Two time breast cancer survivor, third time she was too tired to "fight" and she felt she was ready to "go home".), a year and a half ago and I still miss her every day. You will miss your mother too. But the tears will turn into smiling through the tears and her memory will live in your heart forever. You mother seemed like a beautiful woman. Thank you again for sharing such an intimate emotional processing with the world. Again, many blessings to you and yours.
What a beautiful Mom. Mothers are so tough to lose. Sending love.. Remember to breathe❤️❤️
I'm so sorry you lost your mother. My father died last week & I was searching for a way to preserve some flowers from his casket spray, arrangements sent to us and, the single yellow rose he held when I found this...you're amazing honey & I know your mom is so very proud of you.
Reading this just gave me a heavy heart for you! I'm sorry for what you are going through! Hugs to you honey!
Thanks for sharing beautiful family. I miss my mom so I only had her in my life till the age of 13. I'm going on 50 now. If anyone has there moms still with them Cherish them.
That gives me a heavy heart hearing that, I'm so sorry to hear that!!! Hugs to you... and yes yes cherish your mama's for as long as you have them!!!
Kelly Barlow Creations thank you. Your mom will always and forever be in your heart and the best thing you had so much time with her you will be able to laugh and be happy thinking back on good times you guys shared. I love ❤️ watching your videos helps me to think one day I can be crafty.
it is now February 19th 2016..I was looking for a way to save my beautiful roses from my husband I never thought of wax..thank you for the great idea..and I'm so incredibly sorry for your loss I recently lost my grandmother my rock the glue to our family suddenly it is not an easy time to go thru *tears in my eyes* Bless you and your family always prayers to you..
Hugs to u!!!
Im very sorry for your loss. Just me tears and thank you for sharing this. Your mom def would love this
I wish I would have seen this video so much sooner. my mom passed in August of 2015 and the flowers that were at her service wound up with me as well. My mom made the request that we all have a rose bush in her honor. I'm waiting for the first bloom on my rose bush so I can preserve it. This will help for the future! thank you so much! I'm so sorry for your loss.
OH, MY GOD, what a STRONG woman you are - I could hear the pain in our voice, yet you pushed through this great video. I wish you courage and strength in your time of grief!
she looks like she lived a happy life. may she rest in peace..
peace and love from kuwait.
My grandmother just passed away a few days before Christmas which is also my uncle's birthday. It has been hard for our family this holiday season. We were so close to her and I just made a shadowbox with her favorite song "Amazing Grace" along with flowers from her funeral. Thank you so much for the tips! I am deeply sorry for your loss. Your family will be in my prayers.
Bless you.
I just wanted to say I watched your video, my mom passed away 17 yrs ago and I took the red roses and dipped them in food grade paraffin and they are still perfect. So just so everyone knows, it works
- The Fact That I Literally Know Her Pain I Just Buried My Dad Yesterday ,, He Died From Cancer & I Got The Roses Off His Casket & I Wanted To Find A Way That I Could Make Them Last Forever & I Wanna Thank You So Much Cause You Just Helped Me A Lot 😇😭💛🧡
Thank you for sharing this with us. What a beautiful family you have,
I wish I would have known about this two years ago when my mom passed. Your a precious person.
Thank you...
Kelly sweetheart....what a beautiful daughter your mom had. I just lost my mom and the heartache is beyond any words I've ever learned. i have none to describe what's indescribable. Your video dedication to you mom was absolutely precious and so thoughtful. Your momma did a good job raising you, for sure. I've got my mom's roses from her funeral....(She loved roses) and I'll do my best to preserve them, because like your mom, her memory is so precious to me. Thank-you Kelly. Ailene
Thank u for your kind words! Hugs to you!!
Im sorry for your loss. Very honourable thing your doing, showing people how to make such a beautiful memory last.
So many things you can do with the wax flowers afterwards too. Like send them to prom with your daughter in her corsage.
thank you for posting this video. my heart goes out to you as we have just lost a very young loved one and understand how hard this must have been for you xx
My heart goes out to you. I buried my Mom yesterday. Thank you for sharing this video. I want to preserve the flowers from her funeral.
I was just trying to figure out how to preserve my flowers that were all left here with me from my moms funeral… everything you said at the beginning is just what I’m going through. I’m gonna try this tomorrow. Thank you Kelly❤
God bless you. ...... your mom is in heaven watching down on you. She is smiling because with just a few minutes of a video you have kept her alive. I thought of her and you. I dont know you and didn't know her, but my heart went out to you both. I couldn't imagine losing my mother I'm very sorry for your loss. She is very proud of you , and wants you not to cry when you think of her, but to smile and be happy for her. She is in heaven with the Lord. Smile and remember all the great times you had with her. She is home and happy. ....... God bless you xoxo
