For my grandma I loved so much.
In my Rose Garden of memories
I see you standing there
An angel in disguise
Who taught me how to care
I long to hear your voice
for real not in my dreams
I am missing you so much these days
how empty my world seems
People say time heals all wounds
that someday the pain will subside
But Grandma I can tell you
I think they must have lied
The emptiness I am feeling now
is strong and I am weak
These days go by without you
so dreary and so bleak
In my Rose Garden of memories
I know you'll always be
for though you're gone
from this world
In my heart you'll always be.

we will sorely miss dear sweet Aunt Nora. I have many fond memories from childhood on. She has always been so kind and loving. She was very accepting of Beth from the first time they met. We look forward to seeing her again in Heaven with Uncle Jim.

It brings comfort to know that Nora is with Jesus and she is just beginning the time of her LIFE.
