Time cannot steal the treasures that we carry in our hearts,
Nor ever dim the shining thoughts our cherished past imparts, and memories of the ones we loved
Still cast their gentle glow to grace our days and light our paths wherever we may go.
May the deep concern and sincere sympathy of others bring you comfort at this difficult time
