Written by her daughter, Dana Carr, about her Mother:

The Sweetest Rose

The sweetest rose you’ll ever find

Will take your breath away

The sweetest rose you’ll ever find

Grows sweeter every day

This little rose will make you smile

Will make you feel your best

This little rose is full of love

Is full of happiness

Of all the flowers, this rose is humble

As patient as can be

Of all the flowers, this rose is meek

An example for you and me

I love this Rose, this special flower

A calm and soothing balm

I love this Rose, this beautiful flower

This Rose is none other than my Mom
