Very sorrow to learn the passing of your love one. You have our deepest sympathy.
How sweet it is at evening after a long and well spent day to close the eyes in slumber, and rest from the toil of a day. It is doubly sweet, at the close of a well spent life, to turn one's face toward the sunset and quietly sink into the rest that knowns no waking except in the presence og God.

This is the celebration of your life.
