When we lose a loved one on earth do we get an angel in heaven who watches over us
Dear Jorgen - LaVeta was the rose in your garden, she was the wind beneath your wings, she was the sun in your heart and she was your guardian angel. Now LaVeta flies free but she will always be the rose in your garden, the wind beneath your wings, the sun in your heart and your guardian angel
... and to the other angels up there: "You better have ice cubes for LaVetas cola"
With love from Bente and Soren
