May tender memories soften your grief,
May fond recollection bring you relief,
And may you find comfort and peace in the thought
Of the joy that knowing your loved one brought…

Or keep your loved one from your side.
When memory paints in colours true,
the happy hours that belonged to you.
Helen Steiner Rice
