My heart goes out to everyone who knew and loved my mother, Rose. May we all look forward to joining her along our other dearly missed and departed loved ones, when we too are called home. To all of my mother’s friends and our family, peace and love be with you, now and forever. I love you, Mom. Miss you, too.

Sorry for the loss of someone special
to the family.

I come to the garden alone
while the dew is still on the roses.
and the voice I hear falling on my ear
the son of God discloses.
—————————
(chorus)
And he walks with me
And he talks with me
And he tells me I am his own,
And the voice I hear as we terry there
Non other has ever know.
————————————-

He speaks and the sound of his voice
Is so sweet the birds hush their singing
And the melody that he gave to me
within my heart is ringing.
———————-
(Chorus)
_________________
I’d stay in the garden with Him
though the night around me be falling
but He bids me go though the voice of woe
Hls voice to me is calling.

(chorus)

My sister can now stay in the garden with Him.

She could sure tell stories and for good reason — she wanted them to be remembered and shared…With a song in my heart “I Love You.” Little Sista – Deb
