We never lose the ones we love,
for love itself lives on,
and the joy we knew together
is never really gone.
It lives in precious memories,
of those who were so dear,
memories that bring comfort,
and keep our loves ones near.
Aunt Rose lives forever in every heart she touched.
From the family of her brother-in-law George Thompson (1926-1996) his wife Therese (1930-2006) and their children George Thompson, Rayanne (Pat) Lavery and Laura (Douglas) Munski
