Teresa loved the time she spent working with her friends at Delaware Valley Wholesale Florist. She loved her grandchildren and great-grandchildren and they meant the world to her. 

The leader, a big burly man, gets off his bike and says, \”What are you doing?\” \”I\’m going to commit a suicide,\” she says. 

While he did not want to appear insensitive, he didn\’t want to miss an opportunity he asked \”Well, before you jump, why don\’t you give me a kiss?\” 

So, she does and it was a long, deep lingering kiss. 

After she\’s finished, the biker says, \”Wow! That was the best kiss I have ever had.

 Why are you committing suicide?\”
