Dear Sally and Family,

I remember the first time I met you and Steve. We had come to your house with Walt and Sally to play cards. We had fun and built memories. Those can't be taken away. I am saddened by your loss. While no words can ease your sorrow, please know I'm keeping you close in thought and prayers. Most of us have suffered a loss of Family and Friends but can only guess at the grief of losing a spouse. I wanted to come to the services but I have got this cold, and finally went to the doctor. Please send me your address, I would really like to hear from you. Steve is living with God now and now

it's time that God will take care of you and your Family.

Much love,

Sara

Dear Sally and family,



I am very sorry to hear of your loss. You are not alone. We feel for you and you are in our thoughts. Always remember that when a loved one passes their wish is for you not to be saddened by their absence but for you to reflect on the happiness they have brought to your life. As long as you hold on to their memory their spirit will live always.



Do not stand at my grave and weep.

I am not there.

I do not sleep



I am a thousand winds that blow.

I am the glint on fallen snow.

I am the sunlight on ripened grain.

I am the soft and gentle rain



When you wake from sleep in the morning hush,

I am the swift, uplifting rush

of quiet birds in circling flight.

I am the soft, starlight at night.



Do not stand at my grave and weep.

I am not there.

I do not sleep.
