"If roses grew in Heaven, please pick a bunch for us. Place them in her arms, and tell her they're from us. Tell her we love her and miss her and she turns to smile, place a kiss upon her cheek and hold her for a while. Because remembering her is easy, we do it everyday. But there is an ache within our heart that will never go away...
