It is with great sadness that I inform you of the death of my mother,
M. Hazel Johnston, in Providence on November 5. She and my father,
Raymond Johnston, who died in 2003, received such joy and knowledge
from their association with the society and the members. My mother was
able to remain in their home, surrounded by her beloved gardens, until
the end. I write to you now to thank you for being such a large part
of their lives. If any members are interested in cutting or
air layering any of their plants (including a Best in Show one year),
please feel free to contact me. Our family, unsure of when and to whom
their gardens will pass, would be thrilled to have their plants
flourish and propagate.
With appreciation,
