Poem of Comfort

We little knew that morning
God was going to call your name,
In life we loved you dearly;
in death we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you,
you did not go alone.
Part of us went with you,
the day God call you home.
You left us wonderful memories;
your love is still our guide.
Although we cannot see you,
you are always by our side.
Our family chain is broken
and nothing seems the same,
But as God calls us one by one the chain will link again…
gone but not forgotten
We sat beside your bedside
Our hearts were crushed and sore;
We did our best to the end,
‘Til we could do no more.
In tears we watched you sinking,
We watched you fade away;
And though our hearts were breaking,
We knew you could not stay.
You left behind some aching hearts
That loved you most sincere;
We never shall and never will
Forget you Mother dear.

By Rodney Murphy In the presence of death we stand awkward, and ill at ease; For death is a well-known stranger whom we recognize, but do not wish to know; But death is not a thing in itself, but a stage in the journey of life, through which all must pass. It may come swiftly […]
May the saddest day of your future be no worse than the happiest day of your past.
By Emily Dickinson She died, —this was the way she died; And when her breath was done, Took up her simple wardrobe And started for the sun. Her little figure at the gate The angels must have spied, Since I could never find her Upon the mortal side.
May your neighbors respect you, Trouble neglect you, The angels protect you, And heaven accept you.
