A ROSE FOR A SPECIAL PERSON

ABOUT 14 YEARS AGO, A VERY SPECIAL LADY

CAME TO THE RESCUE OF A YOUNG BOY

THAT WAS IN SERIOUS NEED OF HELP.

SHE TOOK HIM IN, GOT HIM HELP, RAISED HIM,

AND

TURNED HIM INTO THE MAN HE IS TODAY.

THE TERM "PAY IT FORWARD" COMES TO MIND.

THE YOUNG MAN DID SOMETHING SIMILAR ...

HE TOOK HIS OWN LITTLE BROTHER IN TO RAISE.

AND IS DOING A FANTASTIC JOB AT IT.

RECENTLY, A TERRIBLE AIRPLANE ACCIDENT H

APPENED A FEW MILES FROM HER HOME.

ONE OF HER CLOSEST FRIENDS WAS KILLED IN IT.

THE YOUNG MAN SHE RAISED HAS BEEN THERE FOR HER...

AND TOOK HER TO A SERVICE FOR HEAR FRIEND,

AND ALSO TOOK THE BABY.

THE LADY, MRS 'L' WHILE KNOWN AS 'MOM' TO HIM

IS ACTUALLY HIS GRANDMOTHER...

THIS IS A FAMILY MADE TOTALLY OF LOVE
MY PRAYERS GO OUT TO THE FAMILY

AT THE TIME OF THEIR LOSS

... AND ALSO FOR THE CONTINUED SHARING

OF PURE LOVE THEY HAVE.

MOM, RICCY, JEFFREY AND JEREMY

PAY IT FORWARD
