At the time of your loss and grieving this comes to mind.
The river flows, never have crossed the same path twice. Leaving behind the footprint of love, laughter, memories of great times.
As a life well lived the journey begins a new path. The crossroad is here the path is clear. Move forward into your peace. The footprint left behind will forever be imprinted on your lives.
Much love, Resa
