Don t think of her os gone owoy for her journeys just begun; life holds so Benediction
Recessionol
mony focets ond this eorth is only one, Just think of her os resting from
the sorrows ond the teors; in o ploce of wormth ond comfort, where

there ore no doys oryeors, Think of her os living in the heorts of those she
touched; for nothing loved is ever lost ond she wos loved so much,
