Words can't explain my thoughts on the passing of my dear sweet grandmother, so I'm sending this poem as my way of saying thanks for the memories we shared.

In my Rose Garden of memories:
I see you standing there
An angel in disguise
Who taught me how to care
I long to hear your voice
for real not in my dreams
I am missing you so much these days
how empty my world seems
People say time heals all wounds
that someday the pain will subside
But Grandma I can tell you
I think they must have lied
The emptiness I am feeling now
is strong and I am weak
These days go by without you
so dreary and so bleak
In my Rose Garden of memories
I know you’ll always be
for though you’re gone
from this mortal world
In my heart you’ll always be
My Grandmother – By Victoria L. Payne

We all have so much grieve when a loved one die. This is why we can find comfort in Isaiah 25:28.
