Proverbs 10:7 tells us the memory of a good person is a Blessing. When someone you love becomes a memory, the memory becomes a treasure. Love lives on. Those we love remain with us for love itself lives on. Cherished memories never fade because a loved one is gone. Those we love can never be more than a thought apart. For as long as there is memory, they will live on in the heart.
