Here is one of Lois's favorite poems titled "THE ROSE" :



I love to see the roses, In the garden where they bloom, With their natural beauty, They befit the bride and groom. In a Rose Bowl on the table, They simply are sublime, You can make another happy, With a Rose gift - so devine!

With their sweet fragrance, To permeate the air, If I had to choose just one, I couldn't, I declare! The Rose Bud with such splendor, Is a favorite, I suppose, If we could only have within us, The beauty of a rose. Next time your're in the garden, Where the blossoms are so sweet, Take time to smell the roses, It just might be a treat!A Tribute to Mom



It�s YOUR time in the Garden

Where the roses smell so sweet.

Yes, the time has finally come

For you to dance upon your feet.



While we shall miss you dearly,

We know you�re up above

Enjoying all the beautiful joys

Of God�s Heavenly true love.



When you look down on your family

In the weeks and years to come,

You�ll know how much we love you

That won�t change for anyone.



We pray that God rewards you

For the love you�ve freely shared,

Your kind heart and beautiful spirit

Will shine forever in the ways you cared.



While all the flowers in God�s Garden

Are surely beautiful this fall,

His Garden just got brighter

With the most beautiful ROSE of all.





Your loving daughter,



Denise
