In loving memory of our beloved Earlene Hovis who passed away one year ago today.

In our Rose Garden of memories

We see you standing there

An angel in disguise

Who taught us how to care

We long to hear your voice for real, not in our dreams.

We’re missing you so much, how empty our world seems

People say time heals all wounds that someday the pain will subside

But we really need to tell you

We think they must have lied

The emptiness we’re feeling now is strong and we are weak

These days go by without you so dreary and so bleak

In our Rose Garden of memories

We know you’ll always be for though you’re gone from this mortal world

In our heart you’ll always be
