‘All over the world:’ Humboldt Florist inundated with orders
Many give flowers in hard times as a way to show they’re thinking about the person affected. That’s no different in Humboldt over the past week.
Sixteen people lost their lives after the bus carrying players and staff from the Humboldt Broncos crashed with a semi on April 6. Fourteen people died instantly while two others died later in hospital. Three people still remain in critical condition, four are listed in serious condition and three others are stable.
The only flower shop in the small town, Humboldt Florist on Main Street, have been inundated with phones calls from strangers wanting to send flowers.
“We have been getting phone calls from all over the world,” florist, Ruth Brinkman said. “Lots from the U.S.A., even from Australia.”
