Remy Rotella (Sample Seed Shop)
 

I didn't know where to post this but I wanted to let everyone know that unfortunately Remy has passed away. She was diagnosed early Julywith liver cancer and it was so far advanced there really wasn't much they could do. She went very peacefully and in no pain.
I spoke with her a couple of times in the past 3 weeks and she handled it so gracefully. So much strength and acceptance.
I know she has many friends here so thought it proper to let everyone know. RIP REMY

So very sad to hear. Thanks for letting us know.. RIP

That is terrible news. This is a huge loss to the gardening world. Such a nice person. She will be missed by so many. Sympathies to Remy's family.

So sad. Remy was a treasure.

So very sad. A wonderful person. Sincere sympathy to her family.

Thank you for sharing this news with us. I only knew Remy from her contributions online, and also because her shop was my very favorite source for seeds. Receiving those beautiful packages of hand stamped seed envelopes of hers brought me a lot of joy. Her flowers are blooming in my garden now as I type this. I’m so saddened to hear that she has passed. My condolences to her family.

:cry:

So very saddened by this news this morning.

:shock::cry: What a shock! I had no idea that she has been ill. This year I'm growing her Cherry Queen cleome, Irish Eyes rudbeckia, Dot's Delight, Erdie Family Heirloom and Georgische Fleische. A great loss to the tomato world, indeed, as well as to the many people who knew and loved her. Sincerest sympathies to all her family and friends.
Eternal rest grant unto her, O Lord...

She enriched many lives and many gardens. Rest In Peace Remy.

So saddened to hear of Remy's passing.

Remy was a beautiful soul who went out of her way to help people. I remember when my Dad passed that she showed up at the funeral. I'll miss her sense of humour, her knowledge and of course her Tomatofest parties.

Rest in Peace dear friend, you will be greatly missed.

Didnt know Remy but may she RIP..

I am shocked and saddened.

A lovely person. A sad day for all who knew her.

Very sad. She had great seeds at a great price. :(

Oh, dear! What sad news. :(


Remy was one of the nicest folks . . . we will miss her.

I am so sad to hear this news. Yesterday afternoon a beautiful swallowtail butterfly came to visit my bee/butterfly garden. Most of the flowers were grown from Remy’s Sample Seeds. Remy’s spirit will live on in so many of our gardens... (Sorry the photo is sideways)

RIP Remy

For those who wish to be there virtually, Remy's celebration of life service is being streamed.

Really sad news. At least she is at peace.

RIP Remy, our condolences to your family!

Utterly devastating news.

I bught a lot of seeds from Remy a few years ago and I got an e mail to be sure it was right, I explained my church was raising hundreds of plants for a fund raiser.Ok she said, When the order arrived she had put multiole extra packets of seeds in with a note that said for your church.It was a very special thing for her to do and I was very touched by it.

Night and God Bless Remy XX Jeannine

Sad news :(. I always enjoyed her tomato and plant descriptions (will save those) and ordered more than I should have every time!

Such sad news. Remy thank you, you will be missed.

This is such sad news. I've been buying seed from Remy for several years and loved her seed descriptions and quality. Her price couldn't be beat, and I enjoyed our online chats. Clearly she was a very nice and giving person and we will miss her deeply and always remember her generosity and kindness. Loved her spicy lettuce mix! Hugs and love to her family and friends.

I was buying seeds from her too.. sad news indeed. :/
