"      Before she passed away, Babbette Jacquish wrote a letter to her husband, Don, and stashed it in a desk drawer. &amp;quot;Feel me in the morning air, and when you wake up and make your coffee, I will be there always,&amp;quot; she wrote. In a heartwarming tribute to the love of his life, Don has brought her memory into nature, planting miles and miles of her favorite flower, KARE-TV reports.\u00A0 Babbette died of multiple myeloma in November after a nearly nine-year fight with the disease. Her favorite flowers were sunflowers, so much so that she was frequently called the &amp;quot;sunflower lady&amp;quot; around town, frequently planting them in her yard. She had an idea to sell the flowers to fund cancer research, according to the Leader-Telegram, but her sickness prevented her from seeing the results. After she passed away, Don and her daughter, Jenny White, saw it through.\u00A0      Don planted more than four miles of sunflowers on both sides of Wisconsin State Road 85; the strip is 60 feet wide and crosses five farms outside of Eau Claire. Babbette&amp;#039;s Seeds of Hope will harvest the seeds and flowers and sell them. A portion of the proceeds will go to hospitals, research, and patient advocacy.\u00A0       Aside from the obvious good cause, the project is helping Don and Jenny mourn. &amp;quot;Every time I look out there, I think of her and what she meant to me and so many others,&amp;quot; Don told the Leader-Telegram. &amp;quot;She had a tremendous spirit.&amp;quot; (function(d, s, id) { var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0]; if (d.getElementById(id)) return; js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id; js.src = &amp;quot;//connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js#xfbml=1&amp;amp;amp;version=v2.3&amp;quot;; fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);}(document, &amp;#039;script&amp;#039;, &amp;#039;facebook-jssdk&amp;#039;));    Here is small drone clip of the sunflowers for those who are not able to come and see!Posted by Babbette&amp;#039;s Seeds of Hope on\u00A0Thursday, August 13, 2015    "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
