COUSINS AND NEPHEWS
A rose once grew where all could see , Sheltered beside a garden wall,
And, as the days passed swiftly by, It spread its branches, straight and tall.
One day , a beam of light shone through A crevice that had opened wide-
The rose bent gently toward its warmth Then passed beyond to the other side.
Now, you who deeply feel its loss, Be comforted - the rose blooms there,
Its beauty even greater now , Nurtured by Gods own loving care .
Thefamily expresses their sincere appreciationfor affthe prayers, phone calls,food, donations andwords ofencouragement expressedto us during the [oss ofour Covedone. Tnan^yov, andive trust thatyou will continue to prayfor our strength during the hours ofmourning that wittcome.
