I Will Honour Christmas In My Heart

I will honour Christmas in my heart,
and try to keep it all the year.
I will live in the Past, the Present, and the Future.
The Spirits of all Three shall strive within me.
I will not shut out the lessons that they teach!

With Heavy Heart

It is with a very heavy heart that I tell you today that my dear friend, Rose Marie has passed away.

She sold Victorian Style crafts under the name of Victorian Rose and her husband, Joe, who was always at her side, called to tell me that our Victorian Rose was no longer with us.

She was truly one of the most elegant women I knew and fought a long hard battle against breast cancer that had spread to her bones and other places for the past 27 years.

I will miss her greatly......

I featured her beautiful home decorated for Christmas a while ago.

If you missed it or care to see it again, please click HERE

I would appreciate it if you would be so kind to include her wonderful family in her prayers....

Hugs,
Debbie

  7. So sorry about the loss of your dear friend. It is especially hard when it happens near the holidays. Everyone else is so happy, and they don't realize what you are going through. I will say a prayer for you, and especially for her husband and family, that you all can bear this terrible loss.
    With sympathy,
