Although words seem to say so little,

I hope they help in some small way

to ease the sense of loss

that you're experiencing today.



Hold fast to your memories,

to all of the cherished moments

of the past,

to the blessings and the laughter,

the joys and the celebrations,

the sorrow and the tears.

They all add up to a treasure

of fond yesterdays

that you shared and spent together,

and they keep the one you loved

close to you in spirit and thought.



The special moments

and memories in your life

will never change.

They will always be in your heart,

today and forevermore.
