Garden of Life's Emotions by Francine ~ In Memoriam

For every road we've traveled

For all our heart's delight

Your heart remains forever

Within our friendship's light

No thought of word forgotten

No smile that I won't see

For you live on endlessly

For love does naturally

The years remain in treasures

Your soul my sweet refrain

Each moment I remember

I hear your laugh again

Flowers fill a landscape

With beauty I can see

Friendship is the glory

Of all this life for me

For you were like the flower

With colors soft and warm

No color can escape me

It's beauty in each dawn

Time goes on without you

But you still have a part

Of every whispered memory

I've gathered in my heart

So walk in greener pastures

With flowers that abound

Knowing that your always here

With petals that surround

Hours spent within this life

Are moments I have saved

For every minute we have shared

Upon my heart engraved.

Pictured above Jo Ella and Jannie who had been
friends for over 25 years since both their children were
in Kindergarten and they both were homeroom mothers.

They had many things in life that were common, little
things that seem to tie people together for life. One
of them was their wedding anniversaries on May 25,
1974. Her sons birthday August 23 was also Jannie's
middle sons birthday. Things like this in life seem to make
friends realize common grounds and find reasons to know
that they were put together for some higher reason.

Jo Ella died on December 27, 2004 of colon cancer. She
left behind her husband and a son from her previous marriage.

Jo Ella and Jannie spent many special moments together
in life and her spirit lives on in her friend, today and always.
