A TRIBUTE
They say that time heals all sorrow
And help us to forget
But time so far has only proved ...
How much we miss you yet.
We think of you in silence
No one may see us weep
But many silent tears are shed
While others are asleep.
Some may forget now you. are gone
But we will remember no matter how long
Like the vase inwhich roses have once been
distilled.
You may break, you may shatter the vase,
If you will.
the scent of the roses will linger still.
...Sandra and Ronnie
Son and Daughter-in-law
