“When someone you love becomes a memory, the memory becomes a treasure” ~

Image by turtlemom4bacon
My sweet friend Cheryl’s (cheroberta123 www.flickr.com/photos/cheroberta/5539948508/) Mom passed away yesterday after a long illness.
She loved flowers and hope this yellow rose brings you some comfort at this time dear friend.
If tears could build a stairway,
And memories a lane,
I’d walk right up to Heaven
And bring you home again.
