“If roses could talk, they would say: Why do we have to be so far away? Just remember any time of the day, the roses you see will be me. I will not forget the day when you came my way. Because it is very hard for two roses to be so far away. Love, C.B.” Poem by husband, John.
Cremation has taken place and a private memorial service will be held at a later date.
