If Roses grow in Heaven Lord, please pick a bunch for us. Place them in our mothers arm and tell her they are from us. Tell her that we love her and miss her and when she turns to smile place a kiss upon her cheek and hold her for a while. Because remembering her is easy, we do it every day but there is an ache within our heart that will never go away. Carol went to be with her Lord and Savior on Tuesday, May 22, 2018 at the age of 70.
