Thanks for a life time of love and friendship. I can not find in all the languages in the world the words to tell of true heartache that I feel right now. From years of joy and laughter you brought to our world. Like the beautiful rose in the vase your beauty made it a world we could face. Though we now patiently await, we know it shall not be long til we see your beatiful smiling face again, and death shall never separate us again. God Bless all who are touched by our loss.
