A LIFETIME TOGETHER
A SHORT WHILE APART
TOGETHER ONCE MORE
AND NEVER TO PART

MEMORY IS A GOLDEN CHAIN
THAT BINDS US TILL WE MEET AGAIN

PEACE, PERFECT PEACE

THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD

A TINY FLOWER LENT, NOT GIVEN,
TO BUD ON EARTH AND BLOOM
IN HEAVEN

A BOUQUET OF BEAUTIFUL MEMORIES
SPRAYED WITH A MILLION TEARS
WISHING GOD COULD HAVE SPARED
YOU JUST FOR A FEW MORE YEARS

TO LIVE IN THE HEARTS OF THOSE
WE LOVE IS NOT TO DIE

TOO DEARLY LOVE
TO BE FORGOTTEN

REUNITED

REST IN PEACE

GOD FOUND THE PATH WAS
GROWING OVER
THE HILL TOO STEEP TO CLIMB,
SO HE GENTLY CLOSED HER EYELIDS,
AND WHISPERED ‘PEACE BE THINE’

SADLY MISSED

A LIGHT IS FROM OUR
HOUSEHOLD GONE,
A VOICE WE LOVED IS STILL,
A PLACE IS VACANT IN OUR HOME,
THAT NEVER CAN BE FILLED

YES, YOU’VE JUST WALKED ON
AHEAD OF ME
DON’T WORRY I’LL BE FINE
BUT NOW AND THEN I SWEAR I FEEL
YOUR HAND SLIP INTO MINE

HAPPY, SMILING, ALWAYS CONTENT,
LOVED AND RESPECTED
WHEREVER SHE WENT,
ALWAYS SO THOUGHTFUL,
LOVING AND KIND,
A BEAUTIFUL MEMORY
SHE LEFT BEHIND

TOGETHER AGAIN

EVER THOUGHTFUL, FAITHFUL,
KIND AND TRUE,
SELFISHNESS SHE NEVER KNEW,
HER THOUGHTS WERE FOR OTHERS
TO THE LAST,
WE SHALL MISS HER SADLY TILL
OUR LIVES HAVE PASSED

GOD GAVE A TREASURE FOR A WHILE,
TO FILL US WITH HIS LOVE,
AND THEN HE TOOK OUR
DARLING CHILD,
TO DWELL WITH HIM ABOVE

A SMILE FOR ALL, A HEART OF GOLD,
ONE OF THE BEST THIS WORLD
COULD HOLD,
NEVER SELFISH, ALWAYS KIND,
A BEAUTIFUL MEMORY LEFT BEHIND

GOOD WAS HIS HEART,
HIS FRIENDSHIP TRUE,
LOVED AND RESPECTED BY
ALL HE KNEW;
TO A BEAUTIFUL LIFE CAME
A SUDDEN END;
BUT HE DIED AS HE LIVED,
EVERYONE’S FRIEND

A WONDERFUL MUM HAS
GONE TO REST,
FOR EACH AND ALL
SHE DID HER BEST;
PLEASE GOD, FORGIVE A SILENT TEAR,
A SILENT WISH THAT SHE WAS HERE

SAFE IN THE ARMS OF JESUS
