| Death is nothing at all. I have only slipped away into the next room. I am I, and you are you. Whatever we were to each other that we still are. Call me by my old familiar name, speak to me in the easy way which you always used. Put no difference in your tone, wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow. Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes we enjoyed together. Pray, smile, think of me, pray for me. Let my name be ever the household word that it always was , let it be spoken without effect, without the trace of shadow on it. Life means all that it ever meant. It is the same as it ever was; there is unbroken continuity. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? I am waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near, just around the corner. All is well. Henry Scott Holland |

| In those quiet moments in the still of the night Remember to rejoice and celebrate life Do not think of me gone and weep I am not there, I do not sleep I am a thousand winds that blow I am the diamond glints on snow I am the sunlight on the grain I am the gentle autumn's rain When you awaken in the morning hush I am the swift uplifting rush of quiet birds in flight I am the soft stars that shine You will hear my gentle voice and remember to rejoice Never give up your fight and remember always to Celebrate Life....

| Out of the depths I cry to you, O Lord. Lord, hear my voice! O let your ears be attentive To the voice of my pleading. If you, O Lord, should mark our guilt, Lord, who would survive? But with you is found forgiveness: For this we revere you. My soul is waiting for the Lord, I count on his word. My soul is longing for the Lord More than watchman for daybreak. Let the watchman count on daybreak And Israel on the Lord. Because with the Lord there is mercy And fullness of redemption. Israel indeed he will redeem From all its iniquity. |

| Be of good cheer about death and know this as a truth - that no evil can happen to a good man,either in life or after death. ~ Socrates |

| Don't grieve for me for now I'm free, I'm following the path God laid for me. I took his hand when I heard him call, I turned my back and left it all. I could not stay another day To laugh, to love, to work or play. Tasks left undone will stay that way, I found that peace at close of day. If my parting has left a void Then fill it with remembered joy A friendship shared, a laugh a kiss, Ah yes, these things I, too, will miss. |

| But not burdened with times of sorrow, I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow. My life has been full, I've savored much. Good friends, good times, a loved ones touch. Perhaps my time seemed all to brief Don't lengthen it now with undue grief, Lift up you hearts and share with me, God wanted me now, He set me free. Author Unknown |

| Miss Me But Let Me Go When I come to the end of the road and the sun has set on me, I want no rites in a gloom filled room, Why cry for a soul set free. Miss me a little--but not too long, and not with your head bowed low, Remember the love that we once shared, Miss me--but let me go. For this is a journey that we all must take, And each must go alone. It's all a part of the Master's plan, A step on the road to home. When you are lonely and sick of heart, Go to the friends we know. And bury your sorrows in doing good deeds, Miss me--but let me go. (Unknown) |
