The Rose Beyond The Wall ~Author Unknown 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 toward 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 God's own loving care. May God hold you in his arms during this difficult time. With Love, MaryAnn, Greg, Sierra & Megan

You will certainly be missed by many. Things will seem "different" now when we visit ND. We will miss you when we get together and have "Our Cherney Wives Meetings" :). They were always good gab fests.
