Epitaph of the Apricot Tree

It is with deep sorrow that we recognize the loss of our neighbor's dear apricot tree. The tree passed on earlier today along with others of its kind in the yard yonder. The tree died at the mercy of a chainsaw, reasons and motives are unknown.

The apricot tree was a source of not only bottles of sweet nectar, but of savory dried treats. I don't think there will ever be a better party planner than our blessed apricot tree. She hosted many late night events drawing the young and old, each working to draw out the sweet juices. So many memories. If the tree were still alive today, she would undoubtedly provide hours of pleasure and work for anyone who wished to partake of her offerings. This tree will forever be remembered for the fruits of her labor and the unselfish gifts from across the fence.
