Forever in our hearts
Always loved, never forgotten, forever missed
For every life that fades, something beautiful remains
Life is not counted by the years you lived, but the love you gave and the things you did
God has her in His keeping, We have her in our hearts
A special person, a special face, a special someone, we cannot replace.
“How lucky am I to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard.” (A.A. Milne)
“Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened.” (Dr. Seuss)
May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face;
the rains fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again,
may God hold you in the palm of His hand.
A wonderful person, so loving and kind
What beautiful memories you have left behind
Sharing and caring, always content
Loved and respected wherever you went
When tomorrow starts without me
don’t think we’re far apart
for every time you think of me
I’m right here in your heart
“Now the harbour light is calling this will be our last goodbye
Though the carnival is over, I will love you ’til I die” (The Seekers)
Perhaps they are not stars, but rather openings in heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down upon us to let us know they are happy
“…And come in the shade of evening, When the sun paints the sky in the west Stand for a few moments beside me, And remember only my best”.
You had a smile for everyone, you had a heart of gold, You left behind the treasured memories, that we shall always hold.
Butterflies appear whenever angels are near
“To die completely, a person must not only forget but be forgotten, and (s)he who is not forgotten is not dead.” (Samuel Butler)
“What you leave behind is not what is engraved in stone monuments but what is woven into the lives of others.” (Thucydides)
“A butterfly lights beside us, like a sunbeam…and for a brief moment it’s glory, and beauty belong to our world…but then it flies on again, and although we wish it could have stayed, we are so thankful to have seen it at all”.
In the silence of the morning you heard a gentle call, with your farewells left unspoken, you quietly left us all. You left us treasured memories; your love is still our guide, while we no longer see you, you are always by our side
Life is not measured by the years you lived, but the love you gave and the things you did. Yesterday’s memories are more precious than gold, they’re locked in our hearts to have and to hold
“Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming, ‘Wow! What a ride! ‘” (Hunter S. Thompson)
“How we shall laugh at the trouble of parting when we meet again!” (Henry Scott Holland)
‘What we have done for ourselves alone dies with us; what we have done for others and the world remains and is immortal.’ (Albert Pike)
No one here gets out alive (Jim Morrison)
“There were tears and there was sadness and at the same time, there was a realization that ultimately, there’s no death. Who they were in their essence had not been destroyed.” (Eckhart Tolle)
I am ready to meet my maker. Whether my maker is prepared for the great ordeal of meeting me is another matter. (Winston Churchill)
“Say not in grief that (s)he is no more, but say in thankfulness that (s)he was. A death is not the extinguishing of a light but the putting out of the lamp because the dawn has come.” (Rabindranath Tagore)
“The boundaries between life and death are at best shadowy and vague. Who shall say where one ends and where the other begins?” (Edgar Allen Poe)
“(S)he made broken look beautiful and strong look invincible. (S)he walked with the universe on her shoulders and made it look like a pair of wings.” (Ariana Dancu)
