Many people ask where the name Abby Services came from, as well as why a yellow rose was selected as a logo.<\/p><p>The name actually came about due to a misunderstanding. When originally developing his business plan Tom was listening to the popular Beatles album \u201cAbbey Road\u201d. Tom mistakenly thought the album was called \u201cAbby Rose\u201d. In a moment of clarity, it came to him. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.venusetfleur.com\/blogs\/news\/yellow-rose-meaning-history-of-the-yellow-rose\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">A yellow rose symbolizes friendship<\/a>, it would be the perfect logo for a new In-Home Caregiver service called Abby Services, and as they say, the rest is
