And the love they brought into our lives.

that made your life so rewarding
and made you such a special woman.

as we fondly remember your ways…
keeping you safely tucked in our hearts
is where you’ll always stay.
The world will never be the same because
of the beautiful difference you’ve made!

Still loved, still missed and very dear.

Example #9

I am home in heaven, dear ones.
Oh, so happy and so bright!
There is a perfect joy and beauty
In the everlasting light.
All the pain and grief is over,
Every restless tossing passed;
I am now at peace forever,
Safely home in heaven at last.
There is work still waiting for you,
So you must not idly stand,
Do it now, while life remaineth . . .
You shall rest in God’s own land.
When that work is all completed,
He will gently call you Home;
Oh, the rapture of that meeting
Oh, the joy to see you come!

And it will heal the scars.

Example #12

Love is stronger than death. So I must be content to know that love is not
affected by death– It doesn’t end, it doesn’t diminish, it doesn’t change.
Instead love is immortalized and eternalized through death. And the
possibility of that love ever being damaged or broken is eliminated forever.
I’ll put my trust in love.

Example #14

Should you go first and I remain‚
to walk the road alone‚
I’ll live in memories garden‚ dear‚
with happy days we’ve known.
In spring I’ll wait for roses red‚ when
faded‚ the lilacs blue.
In early fall when brown leaves fall‚
I’ll catch a glimpse of you.
I’ll hear your voice‚ I’ll see your
smile‚ tho blindly I may grope‚
The memory of your helping hand
will buoy me on with hope.
Should you go first and I remain‚
one thing I’ll have you do:
Walk slowly down that long long
path‚ for soon I’ll follow you.
I want to know each step you take‚
So I may take the same.
For someday down that lonely road‚
you’ll hear me call your name.

Example #15

Your gentle face and patient smile‚
With sadness we recall
You had a kindly word for each
And died beloved by all.
The voice is mute and stilled the heart‚
That loved us well and true.
Ah‚ bitter was the trial to part
From one as good as you.
You are not forgotten loved one
Nor will you ever be
As long as life and memory last
We will remember thee.
We miss you now our hearts are sore‚
As time goes by we miss you more‚
Your loving smile‚ your gentle face
No one can fill your vacant place.

Example #16

Fill not your hearts with pain and
sorrow, but remember me in every
tomorrow. Remember the joy, the
laughter, the smiles. I’ve only gone to
rest a while. Although my leaving
causes pain and grief, my going has
eased my heart and given me relief. So
dry your eyes and remember me, not as
I am but as I used to be. Because,
I will remember you all and look on with a
smile. Understand in your hearts, I’ve
only gone to rest awhile. As long as I
have the love of you, I can live my life
in the hearts of all of you.

Example #17

When I must leave you for a little while —
Please do not grieve and shed wild tears
and hug your sorrow to you through the years,
But start out bravely with a gallant smile:
And for my sake and in my name
live on and do all things the same,
Feed not your loneliness on empty days,
But fill each waking hour in useful ways,
Reach out your hand in comfort and in cheer
and I in turn will comfort youand hold you near;
And never, never be afraid to die,
For I am waiting for you in the sky.

Example #18

I’d like the memory of me to be a happy one,
I’d like to leave an afterglow of smiles when life is done.
I’d like to leave an echo whispering softly down the ways,
Of happy times and laughing times and bright and sunny days.
I’d like the tears of those who grieve, to dry before the sun
Of happy memories that I leave when life is done.

Example #19

Remember me when flowers bloom early in the spring
Remember me on sunny days in the fun that summer brings
Remember me in the fall as you walk through leaves of gold
And remember me in the wintertime In the stories that are told
But most of all remember each day, right from the start
I will be forever near for I live within your heart.

Example #20

Time has taken me from you, Although not very far.
I’ll be watching through the sunshine and through the brightest star.
I’ll be watching all of you, From the heavens up above.
So take good care of each other and carry all my love.
If you’re ever wondering if I’m there, here’s where you can start.
Take a look inside yourself deep within your heart.
I’ll always be your baby, your child, your best friend.
So anytime you need me, Close your eyes I’m back again.

Example #21

Distance may separate us, but my heart will never let you go,
For I carry a part of you with me always.
It keeps me going through the day.
It brings a smile to my faceand tears to my eyes.
It is a part of my dreams that I live for and cherish.
That part is my wish, my only one,
To see you again soon.
I know that wish will someday come true.
But for now, I will hold in my heart
The memory of you
And never let you go.

She died as she lived, everyone’s friend.
In our hearts amemory will always be kept,
Of one we loved, and will never forget.

A wife, a mother, a grandma too, This is the legacy we have from you.
You taught us love and how to fight, you gave us strength, you gave us might.
A stronger person would be hard to find, and in your heart, you were always kind.
You fought for us all in one way or another, Not just as a wife not just as a mother.
For all of us you gave your best, Now the time has come for you to rest.
So go in peace, you’ve earned your sleep,
Your love in our hearts, we’ll eternally keep.
