It was a small act of remembrance for someone she didn't even know.
Often, it is the seemingly small acts we see in our lives that can have the most 
impact. Allow me to share this story.
On our morning walks, Larry and I have met many people that we see on a routine basis. We gather little snippets of their lives each time we see them.
On several occasions, we’ve noticed Virginia stopping to pick some small flowers… just a few. I never paid much attention until we saw her today.
We stopped to say “hello” and she said that she likes to put a few flowers on a memorial marker along the sidewalk. The lady being memorialized was only 37 years of age when she passed away...so young.
Virginia does not know who the young woman was but thinks her mother walks along the beach as well.
I followed her to the memorial site and she gently brushed aside some leaves on the marker. She said that the other day, she saw that someone had left a beautiful bouquet of flowers, but they had been tossed aside and a beer bottle lay near it.
Virginia very gently laid the small flowers on the memorial site for this young lady that she doesn’t even know.
