Love Leaves a Memory…. Those we love don’t go away, they walk beside us every day, unseen, unheard, but always near, still loved, still missed and very dear. For death leaves a heartache no one can heal, a love leaves a memory no one can steal. I have so many fond memories with Aunt Wilma at the “Roell Compound”…. I will cherish forever in my heart. I have so many memories of someone that was loved very much. Your memory will be my keepsake. GOD has you in his keeping, we have you in our hearts.
