By law, a valid unexpired U.S. passport (or passport card) is conclusive (and not just prima facie) proof of U.S. citizenship, and has the same force and effect as proof of United States citizenship as certificates of naturalization or of citizenship, if issued to a U.S. citizen for the full period allowed by law.
In John Steinbeck's short story, The Chrysanthemums, he uses the flower to symbolize his main character's thoughts and ideas. There are many examples of such symbolism in this work. Elisa Allen is a lonely woman who enjoys growing and nourishing her chrysanthemums.
White chrysanthemums form a blanket of blooms that drape across the casket accented with an arrangement of white roses, white double lisianthus, Bells of Ireland, ivy, sword fern and a variety of lush greens to create an exquisite look of sweet serenity to honor the life of the deceased.
