If Roses Grow in Heaven (By Dolores M. Garcia)
If roses grow in heaven, Lord please pick a bunch for me,
Place them in my Mother’s arms and tell her they’re from me.
Tell her I love her and miss her, and when she turns to smile,
place a kiss upon her cheek and hold her for awhile.
Because remembering her is easy, I do it every day,
but there’s an ache within my heart that will never go away.
Our most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of Elizabeth Betty Druken 2021..
