A fallen leaf is nothing more than a summer’s wave goodbye…
It’s hard to believe summer is coming to an end. All of us here at Loved1Remembered LLC hope you enjoyed all that summer has to offer. Some of us, at least in the Northeast part of the country, didn’t get much of a summer, just plenty of rain, so we’ll be looking forward to spring and summer of 2010!
Schools are back in session, the evenings are getting chilly, the days are getting shorter… it’s time to start embracing the fall season. We are offering colorful and life-like floral silk cemetery autumn arrangements in cemetery cones, headstone saddles, bouquets and wreaths. These silk cemetery designs are weather-resistant and will look fresh and beautiful for the entire season. We hope you will take a minute to visit our website, www.Loved1Remembered.com, and consider decorating your loved ones final resting place with the beautiful colors and flowers of fall.
As always, thank you for visiting our website, we appreciate your business. We’ll be in touch again when the winter holidays get closer for a sneak preview of our winter holiday collection of silk cemetery decorations.
Sincerely,
Moya Waters and the Staff at Loved1Remembered LLC

( 3 / 455 )Trumbull, CT — March 26, 2009 — A local Trumbull business has been chosen to provide silk flower memorial arrangements for the 2009 Remember the Fallen Military Tribute. Loved1Remembered LLC, founded in 2006, provides handmade silk flower memorial arrangements to cemeteries, mausoleums, public and private memorials, roadside memorials, funerals and more. “We have created red, white and blue silk flower memorial cemetery cones displaying the American flag for the annual Military Salute Project.” says Moya Waters, owner of Loved1Remembered.com. “It is an honor to be chosen to provide memorial flowers to our fallen heroes. Each cemetery cone is made with heavy hearts as we know they will be placed on the final resting places of soldiers who have sacrificed everything for us. I hope this tribute brings some comfort to their families and friends. We can never forget these soldiers; their lives were the cost of our freedom. They paid the ultimate sacrifice for this country.” In early 2008, the Military Salute Project purchased two silk flower memorial wreaths from Loved1Remembered LLC that were placed at the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial and the National Fallen Firefighters Memorial during the 2008 Honor & Remember Ride To Washington. Jeff Seeber, the Military Salute Project Director, contacted Moya Waters when the group began planning for the 2009 Remember The Fallen Tribute. Loved1Remembered.com offered to donate the cost of their production time "as our contribution to such a great cause” resulting in a significant price discount for the silk flower memorial arrangements.
The Military Salute Project will conduct 80 graveside visitations in Minnesota and western Wisconsin this spring and summer to honor veterans who have fought and died during the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. The graveside visitations were the idea of a small group of Vietnam veterans. While in Washington D.C. to take part in the national Honor & Remember Ride, they visited Arlington National Cemetery where they placed memorials on the graves of six Minnesota veterans. They took photographs of each of these graves and loaded them onto their website, www.militarysalute.com. The response from families of fallen soldiers was overwhelming and each year more families from Minnesota request the visit and placement of memorials on their loved ones graves by the members of the Military Salute Project. Jeff Seeber, the Military Salute Project Director, said “We're hearing from additional families almost every day who plan to attend. The Tribute is taking on a life of its own”. Regarding the awareness of the annual tribute, Jeff says “We now have the Minnesota Department of Veterans Affairs spreading the word as well as numerous military and patriotic organizations throughout the state. We never expected it would turn into what it's become.” They expect approximately 125 motorcycles, support vehicles and a police escort to participate as part of their Armed Forces Day Ride on May 16. Members of the Minnesota Bugles Across America, the Minnesota Patriot Guard and Troop 60 of the Boy Scouts of America have volunteered to escort the families, sound Taps and place flowers at each graveside.

Spring is finally here and what a reprieve it is! It seems like we all had a very long winter, with crazy weather, continuous bad news and the daily concerns of our crumbling economy. It has touched everyone. But spring signifies new life, and with that, new hope. We must remind ourselves that “This too shall pass” (a quote taken from a story of King Solomon and a phrase once used by Abraham Lincoln). We know better days are ahead. We hope our customers are looking toward a brighter future too.
As we welcome in the new season we are ready to assist you in creating special tributes for your lost loved ones. Now is the time to add color and special accents to their final resting places. Choose a springtime bouquet of colorful mixed flowers, or a cemetery saddle of bright tulips and hyacinth. How about a cemetery cone full of beautiful daffodils and daisies? We have many seasonal wreaths to choose from too. These silk flower arrangements are weather and fade resistant, they’ll look like fresh flowers throughout the spring and into summer too. We have items available in many price ranges. If you have something special in mind and don’t see what you want on our website call us! We would be happy to create something personal for your loved one’s final resting place.
We here at Loved1Remembered.com want to thank our loyal customers and let them know how much we appreciate their continued business even in these difficult times. We will continue to serve you and all new customers with the highest level of respect and customer service.
Have a great day!

( 2.9 / 564 )There are times in our lives when we remember.
Life was unfolding before us, unfolding within us.
There was an uncurling, an opening up.
We were seeking the light,
and, just as much, the light was seeking us.
There was so much to see, to feel.
Rich textures, vivid colors, bold tapestries.
This was not a perfect time.
Long spells on this earth seldom are.
Were it in our power, we would make changes.
But there was so much that was good.
So many possibilities before us.
So many reasons to be thankful.
Tenderness we knew, and closeness.
And the comfort of knowing that where we were
was where we wanted to be,
where it felt right for us to be.
They were times of touch.
We touched one another,
and we were in touch with ourselves.
We touched the world around us,
and we were in touch with that which underlies our world
and upholds it.
Life on this earth holds promises one moment,
and then withholds promises others.
And we experience how fleeting happiness can be.
How quickly the present moment moves on,
leaving behind it only the past, all of the past.
There are times in our lives when we remember,
and in the remembering there is a longing.
A wishing for what we had.
A searching for who we were.
A grasping for what we lost.
Longing is the price we pay for having loved.
Had we not known closeness,
we would not mourn its absence.
Had we not known joy, we would not miss its passing.
Had we not known contentment,
we would not know the sorrow of being without it.
It is one thing to say this, to think it.
It is altogether another to feel this, and to live it,
hour after hour, feeling after feeling.
We cannot recreate the past.
It is beyond bringing back.
But—the past was once.
And that can never be taken from us.
Something of what we had is with us still.
And it always shall be.
Growth we experienced.
Understanding we gained.
Love we shared.
Memories we formed.
And memories that will in time form us.
There are times in our lives when we remember,
and this is one of them.
A time when our remembering is more than remembering.
It is also anticipating.
It is allowing our remembering to also be a hope
and a pledge, carried on these words:
In the summer sun and fields of brightness,
we will remember.
In the autumn haze and blazes of color,
we will remember.
In the winter chill and blankets of whiteness,
we will remember.
And in the warmth of spring and bursts of new life,
we will remember.
In the breezes that caress the leaves, as well as our own hair,
we will remember.
In the winds that fan the hillsides, as well as our own hearts,
we will remember.
In the waves that wash upon quiet shores,
as well as our own hushed souls, we will remember.
With everything that is permanent, and with all that is passing,
With everything that is majestic, and with all that is common,
With everything that causes us sorrow,
and with everything that carries us in joy,
we will remember again and again and again.
As long as we have life, we will remember.
And in the remembering,
that which we have had will be with us still.
That which we have experienced will inform us again.
That which we have shared will help us share in new ways.
That which we have loved will encourage us to love again,
and to love even more freely, and even more fully.
There are times in our lives when we remember.
And in the remembering there is a promise.
There is a hope.
There is a conviction.
The conviction that what we have known was real.
It is real.
And it shall be real,
as long as the sun shall set,
and as long as it shall rise again.
So: let us remember.
And in the remembering, let us look forward.
