Hello Sarah,

What a lovely gesture from Lucy's grandfather!
The wording of the entry is not as important as how her grandfather wishes it to read. If he gives these flowers to the church to honor the birth of his granddaughter, he may give them in his name alone, or include his new partner.

Thank you for this question, one I have not had before.
