Dear Sherry, I am so very sorry for your loss. I am reminded of a beautiful card my Mother received when her Mom passed away. It showed a wall with just the tip of a climbing rose vine on the front of the card and talked about how, although it is not visible to us, the rose still grows behind the wall. I pass this comforting thought on to you, my friend, in hopes that it will provide you with a measure of comfort. Much Love to you.

Sherry;
May you find the Strength to face Tomorrow in the Love that Surrounds you Today.
Helen Keller once said: "What we have once enjoyed we can never lose. All that we love deeply becomes a part of us"...
Know that you are in our thoughts and prayers.
