Mom, we love you. We will miss you. "Save the last dance for me."
A Lady You Are
Pure as sunlight
Soft like rain
Sadly we may never
Have our time again
Days you watched over me
When Mom couldn't be there
Walking, talking, playing cards
Ways to show you care
Hearing your sweet voice
As you sang in church
Your strength and wisdom
There's no need to search
A Lady You Are, the lady I see
Lives forever inside of me

I Love you Grandma Rose
So beautiful like your name
Without you,
My world will never be the same
May God bless you always
and keep you in his care
Your granddaughter, Julie
