Linda's friendship for over 50 years will always be remembered. This verse is for her:- THE ROSE BEYOND THE WALL A rose once grew where all could see, sheltered beside a garden wall. And as the days passed swiftly by, it spread its branches straight and tall. One day a beam of light shone through a crevice that had opened wide. The rose bent gently towards its warmth, then passed beyond to the other side. Now you who deeply feel its loss be comforted - the rose blooms there. Its beauty even greater now, nurtured by Gods' own loving care.
