Flowers and songs may not completely heal, how the feeling of losing a loved one must feel. The hurt may try and linger but it can't keep down, the teasures and memories of love while your loved one was earthbound. Now he sits on high and watches over you in his heavenly form where the skies are always blue. >>>>With Love, Denise B. (Friend and sister of his sister Cassandra).
