In Remembrance

These are not my words...  these are some of the quotes (etc) I was looking to choose from to use for a funeral....

"Death stands above me, whispering low
I know not what into my ear:
Of his strange language all I know
Is, there is not a word of fear"

W S Lander

"Say not in grief that she is no more

but say in thankfulnesss that she was.

A death is not the extinguishing of a light,

but the putting out of a lamp

because the dawn has come."

Rabindranath Tagone

"Perhaps they are not stars, but, rather, openings in Heaven, where the love of our lost ones shines down to let us know they are happy."

 (Eskimo legend)

"Grief is the price we pay for love"   

Queen Elizabeth II

"It is not the length of life, but the depth of life..."   

E R Waldo

"We sometimes congratulate ourselves at the moment of waking from a dream; it may be so the moment after death."

Nathaniel Hawthorne
