IF ROSES GROW IN HEAVEN
If roses grow in Heaven dear Lord
Please pick a Bunch for me.
Place them in our Brother’s arms
And tell him they’re from me …his siblings
Please tell him that we Love and Miss him
And when he turns to Smile, Place a Kiss upon
His cheek
And Hold him for a while…
Because remembering him is Easy….
We do it every day…
But there is an ache within our hearts that will
Never go away…
In Loving memory of our Brother
Victor Borisenko
