I think the most ironic part of my love of this record is the title track, ‘Roses In The Snow.’ It’s about falling in love. The girl falls in love with her dream, and then he dies, and she has to bury him on a hillside. And I actually lived that in my own lifetime. I fell in love with my first husband, and he passed away, and I buried him on a hillside. [Ed: Schlapman’s first husband, Steven Roads, died in 2005 at age 41.] So it was very ironic that I would really live the life of that song.
