Pun,
I thought of you with love today but that is nothing new,
I thought about you yesterday and days before that too,
I think of you in silence I often speak your name,
All I have are memories and your picture in a frame,
Your memory is my keepsake with which I’ll never part,
God has you in His keeping I have you in my heart.

We Love You Cousin,

Sorry for the loss of your loved one. When you miss him just think of all the good times and that will surely put a smile on your face. Remember God does not make mistakes. He always picks the most beautiful flower. I will keep you and your family in my prayers.

Please accept my sincere condolences. May you be comforted by the hope found in God's Word the Bible. It promises that one day the earth will be a place free of pain, mourning and death. May these positive scriptural thoughts bring you a measure of comfort and help you to cope and endure these most difficult days.
