We are so sorry to hear the loss of your loved one. But as we all know not to think of him as gone away,
His journey’s just begun.
Life holds so many facets,
This earth is only one.
Just think of him resting
From the sorrow and the tears,
In a place of warmth and comfort,
Where there are no days and years.
Think how he must be wishing
That we could know today,
How nothing but our sadness
Can really pass away.
And think of him as living
In the hearts of those he touched,
For nothing loved is ever lost,
And he was loved so much.
The wings have now grown, so up high in the sky all will be shown.
Please accept our condolences.
