Actor Jack Benny will sent red rose to wife

On the day after Jack Benny’s death in December, 1974, a single long stemmed red rose was delivered to Mary Livingstone Benny, his wife of 48 years.

When the blossoms continued to arrive, day after day, Mary called the florist to find out who sent them.

“Quite a while before Jack passed away,” the florist told her, “He stopped in to send a bouquet. As he was leaving, he suddenly turned back and said, “If anything should happen to me, I want you to send Mary a single rose every day.”

There was complete silence on Mary’s end of the line, then weeping, she said, “Goodbye.”

Subsequently, Mary learned that Jack had actually included a provision for the flowers in his will, one perfect red rose daily for the rest of her life.
