Monica J. Vargas February 1, 1970 - January 16, 2001Memories of your children are like a rose... When a child dies our memories are held tightly with lots of pain, just like the tightly folded petals of the rose, but with the many thorns to stick and prick causing pain. As we talk about our child and share memories with others, we begin to open ourselves to healing as the rose petals start to open ever so gradually. Just as a rose becomes more beautiful as it blooms, so do the memories of our child. Yes, the thorns are still there and will hurt when touched, but oh how beautiful the memory of our children! Share the memory of your child so that the memory can start to bloom to become as beautiful as the rose.We miss you so much, Mom, Bob, Marty, Peanut, and your Ryan
