sending flowers is one of the most common ways to pay your respects at a funeral. can you be sure your flowers actually make it to the service? a woman in hayward says not necessarily. that's when she turned to michael finney for help. >> kathy shows us pictures of her big brother, mahendra, enjoying family gatherings, even as he struggles with illness. >> he had three boys and he would do anything for his sons. he was such a devoted father. >> when he died in february, kathy and her sister wanted to show how much he meant to the family. >> we were going to send a nice, big spray. >> kathy searched online for flower shops in san jose. up came amy florist and there she found the perfect floral wreath. >> it's called field of lavenders. very pretty.

i ordered it five days prior to the funeral. >> she added a loving message, paid for the flowers and receive the confirmation from amy florist. >> then i show up at the funeral home on the day of the funeral on sunday and i don't see the flowers. >> she looked everywhere. the flowers never made it to the funeral. kathy had to tell her family. >> it was more than the flowers, it was showing our love and this is our last respect, tribute. i was upset. i was really, really upset. >> she tried to contact amy florist, but no one picked up the phone. she wondered what if she hadn't been at the service? >> i would have never known they didn't receive the flowers. >> kathy contacted "7 on your side." we found out that amy florist is not a flower shop in san jose. it's a company in southern california and it has an "f" rating with the better business bureau with many customers saying they never got their flowers either. however, after kathy disputed

the charge, amy florist did refund her $152 right away. and the company e-mailed "7 on your side" saying the flowers were delivered a day ahead as requested but could have been misplaced. the company said there are many reasons why someone might believe the flowers weren't delivered at a funeral. it could be that they were delivered to the flower room and the funeral staff failed to move them to the funeral service. kathy said she'll never have that day back, but her brothers ashes will be scattered in his homeland of fiji along with more flowers. >> state law bars a florist from using a city name unless they have an address there. that's to prevent online flower companies from luring customers who want a local florist. amy florist said they don't use a city name in their business title and they have a network of floor of thes in each city. and bottom line, look for a physical address for a florist if you want a local florist. i'm michael finney. "7 on your side."

>> 6:40 is our time. lisa, we talk about the new normal being the warmer or mild temperatures but now it's back to what should be the real normal? >> exactly, with the heat on and the windows shut because it's just 35 degrees this morning in napa. here's a look at mt. tam. but down the road in san rafael fell. of, a little wind pushing up up to 351. a wide variety. but this afternoon temperatures closer together but much much cooler. only 50s and 60s. i'll explain and tell you when the rain arrives next. >> thank you. many people clean their dentures with toothpaste or plain water. and even though their dentures look clean, in reality they're not. if a denture were to be put under a microscope we can see all the bacteria that still exists on the denture and that bacteria multiplies very rapidly. that's why dentists recommend cleaning with polident everyday. polident's unique micro clean formula works in just 3 minutes, killing 99.99% of odor causing bacteria.

major advances at stanford have given a cancer patient his health along with a dramatic improvement in his life. as cheryl jennings reports, can see the results and the joy written all over his face. >> when steven jensen looks in the mirror, he sees more than his own reflection. he sees a miracle, a face reconstructed from the ruins of stage 4 cancer. >> i was disfigured, and then when the jaw fractured i had a hard time talking, eating. >> having already undergone one major surgery, he was now facing another. in desperation, steven turned to stanford surgeon, and the

powerful technology that promiseed to literally remap his face. >> it really explained what he could do, that they would do computer mirror imaging and construct the job virtually before they even went in for surgery. >> he had a huge advantage because you actually have an ideal situation. you have created the ideal before you get there. >> the stanford team began by taking c. t. scans of his jaw which are beamed to a specialized center in michigan and turn into a precise 3-d model. using a remote link the doctor carefully analyzes a computer simulation as he plans the reconstruction. >> can you pull up in red where the bone that's diseased that we are planning to remove? and now can you delete that bone to see what the jaw would look like without it? good. so to fill in the space, what i want to do is mirror image the opposite side to fill in the gap. >> can you show us the mirror image and fill in the space between two? that's how we achieve the

symmetric jaw with everything in the correct position. and use that as the basis for the reconstruction. now that i have the model the next step is to take this and do a 3-d print of this. >> the model is used as a template. surgeons bend flexible plates along the jaw line to capture the precise contours. >> when i go into the operating room i have the plate in my hand and i can screw it to the patient's jaw and use it to guide the rest of the surgery. >> the reconstructions can take many hours in the o.r. and recovery can stretch for weeks. but as the swelling receded, he began to watch his mirror reflection reappear in the mirror. >> after the surgery i was just blown away. >> as we talked about, at some point later we will probably want to move the skin a little bit. >> follow-up surgeries could help him get closer to his original appearance. but he believes his improvement already runs far deeper than the cosmetics. >> this thing is the ability to really have my speech and to be able to eat. like having my life back. >> cheryl jennings, abc7 news.

the doctor also credits advances in microvascular techniques, allowing surgeons to deliver blood supply more effectively in reconstruction. >> there is a festivity holy this weekend. it starts today and tomorrow at the sand hill field. yesterday students at u. c. santa cruz marked the occasion. festival includes throwing colorful powder at each other along with dancing and feasting. santa cruz celebration raised money for a charity that provides free prosthetic limbs. organizers raised $1,400 last year. lisa it sure was nice out in santa cruz yesterday but a different story for the weekend ahead. >> and it has been cool. waking up to 30s in the north bay. and averages high are chillner. some rain is coming.

is dusting in mt. hamilton tuesday and a thunderstorm maybe with small hail as all the energy you see restating in the pacific northwest begins to slide south and sweep down the california coast. we are talking central california and also central california. but we are looking at anywhere from three quarters of an inch to an inch in in the north bay before it's all said and done by tuesday. here's a look from the sutro tower camera. it's clear and quiet and about 50 degrees in san francisco. cooler in north bay. the wind has allowed for the mixing to allow the clear conditions in only about 9-mile visibility. good visibility in the north bay and about 5-mile at the cost. 46 san carlos, and from our exploratorium camera a beautiful start to the day. the sun coming up officially at 6:51 in san francisco. 37 petaluma. no wind at all here. the northwest wind even though it is out of the northwest at
