There is something special about a womans relationship with her father, and he with her. My Father was a quiet, gentle man whose world centered on his family and farm. As a child, he encouraged me to listen to the birds singing, taught me the importance of a soft summer shower and showed me the beauty of a perfectly shaped tomato grown on his farm in Agawam, Massachusetts. He listened with interest to my stories about my family, found my teaching anecdotes amusing and depended on my regular visits to the farm to help him out.
When my Dad became gravely ill, he needed so much care and support. Just before he died, he made one last trip to my home. While there, he tried to turn on a small lamp, but needed my help. After his death, I put on that same light and its soft glow reminded me of his quiet presence.
I started sending small angel lamps from a local florist as bereavement gifts. The testimonials were proof that I had created a wonderful alternative for bereavement and the concept of a remembrance light was born. As the idea grew, it became a gift of light for all occasions. We now cater to all of lifes milestones, including weddings, new homes, babies, birthdays, anniversaries, retirements and corporate gifts, as well as bereavement.
Reflections by Claudia offers personalized embossed cards, excellent service and high quality heirloom lamps.
"Reflections" gifts of light will shine as a warm memory of a loved one, just as my small accent lamp shines in loving memory of my Dad.
