At last, the roses in our memorial garden are coming out. As we enjoy them for weeks to come, try to recall that each of them recalls a loved one who has died. I often remind myself to say a prayer for them whenever I pass by. Habits may be hard to break but they can be equally hard to make!
God Bless,
