This is indeed a beautiful tribute to Gert! It is a beautiful addition to her book. To me the story of her wonderful amazing love story with Stan is inspirational. Yes, she will be greatly missed!

Comment from Jannypan (Jan)
Your tribute poem for Gert was beautiful, Sally. I enjoyed reading
it. You wrote of all the qualities a rose has and likened them to
true love of Gert and Stan. Through their 70+ years of marriage,
I believe they understood the true meaning of love--even with its
ups and downs--just like a rose. It's rooted deep (love) and overcame
anything that was an obstacle (with their faith in each other and God).
Your presentation is excellent.
Thank you for sharing and caring, Jan

Comment from Carol Hillebrenner
The rose picture is very lovely and the poem is certainly heartfelt. Gert was obviously a very special person that this poem was meant for her. And thanks for 3 of my favorite Neil Diamond's songs.

Comment from Pam (respa)
-Beautiful artwork and nice presentation, Sal.
-You also chose my favorite singer!!!
-A beautiful poem, one of your best, and
Gert would be so pleased.
-Lovely images related to the rose and love:
*"Intoxicating--invigorating--
The rarest of perfumes--"
*"For love's within the flowering beauty."
-A perfect conclusion.
-Words can't do justice to the beauty of this poem.

Sally,
This is such a great poem, because of your beautiful presentation, the beautiful sentiment, and the symbolism of the rose.
Good luck with this.
Keep writing.â??ï¸?

Thank you for celebrating the love of Stan and our sweet Gert. She often wrote of their love and it's fitting that you write of their amazing devotion to one another. I can't listen to the music now as my granddaughter is sleeping nearby...
