    In Memory of Norma Heslet
    March 5, 1924 - March 4,2004

    They say times heals pain But after three years I still feel the same.
    The tears are never ending; the sadness just never goes.
    I hide it so well, so that it never really shows
    There is a place in my heart for you alone.
    A piece of my life only you can own.
    For deep in my heart a memory is kept
    Of the one I love and will never forget.
    Memories are something no one can steal
    Death is a wound no one can heal.
    Life goes on, I know it’s true But not the same since I’ve lost you!
    Love Always & Forever, Your daughter, Rosa
