Perhaps you sent a lovely card,
Or sat quietly in a chair.
Perhaps you sent a funeral spray,
If so, we saw it there.
Perhaps you spoke the kindest words,
As any friend could say;
Perhaps you were not there at all,
Just thought of us that day.
Whatever you did to console our hearts,
We thank you so much, whatever the part.

Faye, I hope this reading helps...
You can shed tears that he is gone
or you can smile because he has lived.

You can close your eyes and pray that He'll come back
or you can open your eyes and see all He's left.

Your heart can be empty because you can't see Him
or you can be full of the love you shared.

You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday
or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.

You can remember Him and only that he's gone
or you can cherish his memory and let it live on.

You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back
or you can do what he'd want: smile, open your eyes, love and go on.

I attended a memorial not too long ago where one woman's expressed sentiments were quite uplifting and I am sharing them here:

The family member distributed forks throughout the congregation with a parable,
that I am paraphrasing here, but the ultimate message was that life is a banquet
And as you use your 'fork' to relish the good eats with gusto, you also swallow the distasteful servings . . . and move on . . .

At the end of the "meal", you hold on to your fork . . . because you know the best is yet to come . . . dessert

The fork represents that the "best" for this adored man is ahead of him

God Bless

As you have touched us so,
We have bowed with tears,
And felt your rain, your clouds as ours,
For there is merely air,
And a gilded light,
Between where we ponder,
By heart or soul.
And truly said,
There is no horizon
We cannot reach again
Without a gentle turn
Of our sail.


May tender togetherness
Abide with you always.
