You left a beautiful memory
and a sorrow too great to be told,
but to us who loved and lost you,
your memory will never grow old.
Always a silent hurt, many a silent tear,
but always a beautiful memory
of one we loved so dear.
God gave us strength to bear it,
and courage to take the blow,
but what it meant to lose you,
no one will ever know.
Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord,
and let perpetual light shine upon him.
The Lord be with you,
now and for evermore.
And May You Rest in Peace.
