Mrs Pell gives roses to grave ends in new devotion
Mrs Pell saves 1.68 over 14 weeks for white roses to adorn her husband and son’s graves on Decoration Day. When neighbor Sally Wilkes faces a deathbed farewell and cannot afford the train, Mrs Pell loans nothing until a florist run inspires a change of heart. Later, a neighbor party decorates two lonely graves with the saved roses, fulfilling Teddy’s memory.
