Blue Roses On the River is a book about love and forgiveness. My journey continues with recovering from the past and overcoming grief and loss. I am dedicating this book to my partner Jimmy Crowe. I also dedicate this book to my best friend Anthony Hutchins. ey were the greatest gifts that I could ever have. I miss them dearly. I am sharing my life journey with both of them. My poetry will reveal the deep love and compassion I have experienced in life
