Nominator: Emily Galan
Nominee: Emilia Galan
Their Submission: I’d like to nominate my Baba (Ukrainian word for grandma), Emilia Galan, for your next Flower Bombing! She deserves this for so many reasons. She came to the states in the 1950’s as a holocaust survivor with only $3 to her name, worked 3 jobs to help support her 3 children, and most impressively, never complained. She has a smile that lights up an entire room and this deep sense of joy that is immediately contagious. She turns 95 this June and she is still living by herself in the house she and her husband built. The one thing that has gotten her down lately is that her garden needs perking up – her favorite hobby is gardening and she has always taken pride in having one of the most beautiful front yards on the block, but hasn’t been able to garden as much these past few years due to arthritis. She has been a longtime customer of Pettiti’s, with an annual trip to buy her hanging flower baskets every May. Please help me wish her a happy birthday and thank her for being a great customer and grandmother by Flower Bombing her house! There’s a pretty good chance she’ll end up making you pierogis!
