A Dedication To The Memory Of Luella Nederhoff

"The Rose Beyond the Wall"
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 shown through
a crevice that had opened wide--
The rose bent gently toward its warmth
then passed beyond the other side...

Now, all who deeply feel its loss,
be comforted--the rose blooms there--
Luella's beauty is even greater now,
nurtured by God's own loving care.
