Jan Young and her daughter, Nikki Erwin, hold a floragraph of Paul Young, a longtime Clark County Fire Department captain who died suddenly last year but donated his organs. The floragraph will ride aboard a float in the 125th Rose Bowl Parade.
Family and friends came to the rescue Saturday morning at Fire Station 31 in Las Vegas. One by one, they dabbed and sprinkled ground spices — blonde in color, of course — onto a portrait of their deceased loved one made entirely of natural ingredients.
The floragraph, as it’s called, will ride aboard the Donate Life America float for the 125th Rose Parade in Pasadena, Calif., honoring the long-time Clark County Fire Department captain who donated organs and tissue after his sudden death last year.
“The dream that came true for those that received the organs and tissue of Paul is remarkable,” said Glenn Abercrombie, general manager of Palm Eastern Mortuary and Cemetery, which sponsored the floragraph.
