The pop star ordered the flowers from Phoebe Floral in Allentown, the shop confirmed. A note attached to the flowers read:
“To the Zukowski Family, What a tragic loss for you, for me and for all of us. Of course, I will always remember my friend Abbie. Devastated, I send you my condolences. I am so sorry. Taylor.”
“I know she would have the biggest smile on her face seeing Taylor giving her recognition,” reads the Tumblr page in honor of Abbie.
Abbie’s family posted on social media and said the campaign itself had brought them much needed relief and entertainment during a very challenging grieving process.
“My whole family and mom are hysterically laughing,” Maddie Zukowski wrote on Twitter. “This is really doing so much for us you guys really dont realize what you are doing you are making this hell feel a little more like heaven every step we take.”
