    Nathon thinking of you in the loss of your Mother

    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.

    I love you forever and ever mom.
    Love, Nathan

    I’m deeply saddened by Theresa’s passing, I pray for strength and peace during this time for Nathan and Caleb. I know from experience some days hurt worse than others but mourn at your own pace and when you start feeling lonely for her call out to her she will be listening.
