A rose for Emily,
with love, beauty, and courage.

Your faith unmendable, you rose to show your Father love, the love he gave you too.
Your heart unconditional, your heart reached out to everyone you met.

For you I give a rose.
When I met you, you lit up the room,
your eyes twinkled with delight.
and you couldn't wait to show us around.

This red rose Emily: represents your love,
which you gave to God unconditionally,
and to your friends and family too.

This rose represents your beauty and courage,
that radiated from you light sunshine,
this rose will always let you know "I love you"

When your eyes would gleam,
and you spoke with dignity,
always confident that God would be right by your side.

For you I give a rose.
When we took Allison and her friend to the beach and had a picnic,
you had a smile on your face the whole time,
the day was incredibly beautiful, and we prayed.


This white rose Emily: represents your purity and inncocence,
Your love for God and his love for you.
Uncondiditional and no strings attached.


For you I give a rose.
At my first family camp,
you helped me find my way around,
and invited me to play a card game with your family.

So many memories.

This pink rose Emily: represents appreciation.
I am thankful for our friendship,
and all the time we spent together.

Your passion and hope for the future.
A heart of unconditional gold,
ready to be found.


For you I give a rose.
Every Youth group you said something that revealed God's heart for us,

This yellow rose Emily: represents our friendship,
this friendship will never end,
day in and day out.

A yellow rose,
just to say,
this is a promise of a new beginning.

beautiful Kellie.

Well I see you doing, What I try to do for me, With the words from a poet, And a voice from a choir, And a melody, nothing else matters. ~Stevie Nicks
