In my rose garden of memories, I know you’ll always be…

Your sudden demise came to me as a real shock. I just can’t imagine that you bade us farewell so soon. You were a good friend to us all. With your loving and caring ways, you won the love of everyone and we all loved your sense of humour. I will miss you a lot Eva. You were the best friend I ever had and I know for sure that you will always live in the hearts of everyone you touched. I really don’t know what to write or say. We your friends at the YWCA will always remember you. I want to dedicate to you the poem ‘In my rose garden of memories’ written by Victoria L. Payne.
 
In my rose garden of memories
 I see you standing there 
 A beautiful angel in heaven 
 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 EVA I 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 are gone from this world 
 In my heart you’ll always be 
Goodbye my dear friend till we meet at Jesus’ feet. 
 May your soul rest in peace!
