A gift never to be forgotten

We got the sweetest gift from Brooke and Cary Winget. They were both so close to Jeff. Cary is like a brother to all of us and then when he married Brooke, she became like a sister. Brooke wanted to do something special for those in the family she knew well. She was inspired to take a few of the roses off of Jeff's casket at the cemetery. What she did with them - we will treasure forever. She carefully dried the flowers and then wrote the following poem to go along with it. Truly a gift we will never forget! And a way to remember Jeff each day.


Remembrance

These roses are very special
After the funeral they were left,
Now they lay in a frame together
They will forever remind us of our Jeff.

There are so many moments to remember
Sweet memories that we've all had,
But to see him lying so peaceful
These roses make it not so sad.

These roses represent his life
His generosity and his big heart,
And we'll never forget those bear hugs
Even though for now we're apart.

We will always have these roses
They will be our remembrance of him,
They're the ones that laid with him laid that day
May they last 'til we see him again.
