Our thoughts and prayers are with you. We lift you up, asking God to give you what you need as you go through this difficult time. May your cherished memories be as stars in the night sky bringing light to an otherwise dark time. May our Lord touch you with His presence; give you peace and comfort as your hearts heal.

Love is stronger than death, though it can't stop death from happening.
But no matter how hard death tries, it can't separate people from love; it can't take away your memories either. In the end, life is stronger than death. Enjoy the memories of the life your loved one lived, the legacy he leaves behind.
When a loved one becomes a memory, the memory becomes a treasure. ~Anonymous

Oh what a sunrise it's going to be, death will lose its sting, the grave its victory. The silence will be broken, the tears rolled away. You'll hear the voice of angels say “Homecoming Day!”

With Heartfelt Sympathy
