Patricia Lynn Dowdy MARCH 29, 1955— AUGUST 13, 1971 Pat was one of the beautiful roses in the Garden of Youth. She radiated her zest for living through her smiling eyes that all the other flowers loved dearly. One day, the Gardener suddenly plucked her from the garden, and the Other flowers asked the Gardener why. He replied that He needed her in the Garden of Eternal Life, that others might enjoy her beauty. He told them that the perfect garden needed roses, as well as the little violets, and the lilies that grow tall. The other roses and the Mies that grow tall said, But we love her and we miss her, The Gardener replied, But all of you must be transplanted to have eternal life. You will not know what hour I will come to take you, but be not afraid; believe in me. I tell you that the Eternal Garden is in the most beautiful and peaceful place; and whether you are a rose, or a violet, or a lily that grows tall, all there will have smiling eyes like Pat ' s. The young flowers had faith in the Gardener and believed in Him, and again they were happy, knowing that Pat was there. 5
