I will never be able to walk past a Rosemary Bush again without hearing your voice, or seeing your smile. Hearing you tell me the wonders of the plant and showing me how good it smelled. You will be in every petal of every bloom, every piney sweet smell, I know you will be there with me. I remember the tales you told me of its power of love to this day. You created the most beautiful of gardens, built a rock wall with your bare hands, and because of your love of your garden and nature you attracted so many kinds of bugs and animals. Counting squirrels on the lines, watching the fat black bumble bees hover between flowers like low flying blimps, running my hands over all the smooth and slick rocks in the wall when running outdoors to play..
The feel of the terracotta pavers under my feet as I ran, Max going wild.
A trip in for something to drink, turning into a Feast fit for a king and his entire family...
Gingerale's bitter-sweet and bubbles, will always remind me of our Lunch Feasts.
You always had a Ricola on hand for that sore throat up in that 'cabinet of wonders' I remember. 
You had beauty, grace, and intelligence,  you loved to dig in the garden and help create such beauty. You were a huge inspiration to me though you may not have known it in life, I hope you know it in spirit now. 
I love you dearly, and will miss you for all time.
May the spirits guide you on your path to your ultimate garden, with rocks of plenty, where the smallest bloom you see is the size of a baseball. I know you are sitting at your table in the sun enjoying the sound of the bees and squirrels behind while you watch down over us. May you be in every flower I see, every Rosemary I smell, every handful of dirt I dig, every rock I ever think of taking home to make a wall. I love you.
