Don’s (right) and Babette (left) were married in 2000. Their daughter Jenny said “I think these two people were sincerely in love with each other and their future looked to be a happy one. However, Babette was soon after diagnosed with cancer. After, a long battle of treatment of therapeutic drugs and medication, she passed away in November 2014.

Cancer and Planting Sunflowers of Hope.

Babette loved sunflowers and Don continued to plant her favourite flowers as a gesture of hope. As a large field of sunflowers had been created, it was decided to use the proceeds of selling the sunflowers and donate the proceeds toward cancer research. “By selling sunflower seeds, a portion of the profits will help with progress in finding a cure or treatment in cancer research.” Babette’s favourite flower became a symbol of hope.
