Description:This is a very simple layout because it will be framed as a gift. Last month there was a dedication ceremony for my dad and this is the tree that was planted in his memory. The plaque says : In memory of Allen S. Brough "Tex" 1934 -1995
I sure do miss him!!!!
The journaling I copied from a sympathy card:
Sometimes it seems
they are just away one moment…
And how our hearts all wish that it were so
Another chance for saying all we meant to…
Just one more time before letting go
Sometimes it seems
they are just away one moment
they’re still right here beside us,
Our memories are so powerful and clear…
And it’s a comfort knowing that in some way
Those we love so much are always near.
Dawn, what a wonderful layout! I love the poem, it goes perfectly with the photos and the dedication of this tree! What a beautiful tribute to his memory.
That brought tears to my eyes. I have a card still on my desk at work that says
"Perhaps they are not the stars
But rather openings in heaven
Where the love of our lost ones pours through
And shines down upon us
To let us know they are happy."
Someday I have to scrap it, but not yet.
