Seeds of Happiness:

Mark Borella is a 1984 Kirkwood alum who owns and operates the Seeds of Happiness studio.

"A friend of mine's son was sick, and we knew he wasn't going to make it. I made a handful of these little smiles, [and gave it to the family.] I said maybe you can hold on to [them] until you get your smile back. [The family] said 'it would be very selfish if I didn't tell you to do this for other people.'"
