3 o f the most memorable ones are: It s not what you make, it s what you saVe. We know hoW We got here, but We don `t know hoW We re going to leave. Hook out fo r the deers. B a k a on many occasionss you said that We are some o f what you always Wanted to be a nurse or a teacher but little did you know you Were our nurse, teacher, doctor, lawyer and i f necessary our bodyguard and so much more. B a k a I'm so thankful fo r all the laughs, talks, heartfelt kisses, and hugs. I Will miss you terribly, but I know Q od is able. I trust and believe you are in his care.

od''$ Flower garden
It 's hard to lose the oms we love.
To see them pass away,
T h e sw etest and the kindest gone W hile others are left to stray! 'B a t if we had a garden W ith roses fair and bright, W e'd often pick the loveliest .fin d think it to be right, fin d so it is with Jesus In hfas earthly garden here; He often picks the fairest flowers, T h e oms we love so dear. T h e flowers that are picked by hfm W ill never fade away. W e know th ey'll live forever, and W e ll see them some sweet day.
