Tragic loss of well known nursery co-owner in the USA: Michelle Avent

Many of us, not only in North America, will know of Tony and Michelle Avent of Plant Delights Nursery in Raleigh, North Carolina.
The Avents have been a team for a long time and had a most successful partnership, in life and work. Sadly Michelle has passed away after a battle with cancer.
Tony has written the most touching memoriam to her here in the News for February on their website:

Our thoughts are with Tony and his family and friends at this time of great sadness.

Maggi, I received this sad news this morning from Tony's newsletter. I just couldn't help tearing up thinking what Tony must be going through...
Lots of people including me have been posting our sympathies and prayers to his facebook page here:

She will truly be missed...
