The service at the passing of a dear one is an opportunity to reflect and meditate on the importance of loving relationships …

Remembering

"Golden days come and gone
Cherished thoughts still linger on
Family, friends, those we loved
Alive in memories.

Life will guide us, help us learn
Till we, our heavenly home return
But golden times will ever stay
Alive in memories.

From a little child we grew
Till we realized, till we knew
That those we love live ever on
Alive in memories.

The clock of time has no hold
When our hearts hold only gold
For kindness, caring truly stay
Alive in memories.

In looking back, the winding trail
Holds for each a precious tale
And when our sunset blazes bold
We'll live on, in memories."
