I asked God for a flower, He gave me a garden.
I asked God for a tree, He gave me a forest.
I asked God for a river, He gave me an ocean.
I asked God for the world, He gave me you.
My heart is lost to you, always and forever.

~Your Loved One lives In Your Heart~

Many tender memories soften your grief,
May fond recollection bring you relief,
And may you find comfort and peace in the thought
Of the joy that knowing your loved one brought...
For time and space can never divide
Or keep your loved one from your side,
When memory paints in colors true
The happy hours that belonged to you.

cher. pauline n robert mcgregors daughter

thank you for your support

Although you are a friend of mine
and candles we exchange
I wouldn't know you on the street
and doesn't that seem strange? ♥♥

♥♥ You hold a place within my life
unusual and unique
we share ideals and special dreams
and still we do not speak ♥♥

♥♥ I picture what I think you are
perhaps you picture me
an intriguing game for both of us
for someone we can't see ♥♥

♥♥ So for this friendship we possess
we owe this mail a debt
perhaps the charm lies in the fact
that we have never met ♥♥

thank you for all your support it means
so much love from cher xxx

♦♥♦ Cherished Memories ♦♥♦

Sometimes it's hard to understand
To see the reason why,
Sometimes it's hard to find the words
To say that last goodbye.
Sometimes it's hard to look ahead
With eyes still filled with tears,
But all our cherished memories
Will live on through the years.
And though there are no answers
The questions still remain,
Sometimes we just can't comprehend
Or understand the pain.
Sometimes it's hard to look beyond
The rainclouds in the sky,
Though all our cherished memories
Will stay as time goes by.
Sometimes when we close our eyes
The only thing we see,
Are moments that are long gone by
Of how things used to be.
Sometimes we need to just let go,
Let tears fall as they may,
Reliving cherished memories
That never fade away.

Tribute For This Weekend

Candles Will Be Lit As Usual
On Sunday For Monday



♥☺♫♥☺♫♥☺♫♥☺♫♥☺♫♥☺♫♥☺♫♥☺♫♥☺♫♥☺♫♥☺♫♥☺♫♥

Special Day

We do not need a special day
To bring you to our minds.
The days we do not think of you
Are very hard to find.

Each morning when we awake
We know that you are gone.
And no one knows the heartache
As we try to carry on.

Our hearts still ache with sadness
And secret tears still flow.
What it meant to lose you
No one will ever know.

Our thoughts are always with you,
Your place no one can fill.
In life we loved you dearly;
In death we love you still.

There will always be a heartache,
And often a silent tear.
But always a precious memory
Of the days when you were here.

If tears would make a staircase,
And heartaches make a lane,
We'd walk the path to heaven
And bring you home again.

We hold you close within our hearts;
And there you will remain,
To walk with us throughout our lives
Until we meet again.

Our family chain is broken now,
And nothing seems the same,
But as God calls us one by one,
The chain will link again.


A Celebration

This day will be a celebration
Of the short time you were here.
You will always be remembered
With great love and many tears.

But to only feel pain and sorrow
Would not be fair to you.
Your life meant so much more to us,
More than words could say.

You were here so briefly,
I wonder if you knew
All the ways you’ve touched
Our world and our hearts

And everyone who knew you
Since the day God called you home.
Now my child, you’re an angel
With your heavenly Father above,

We see not only what we’ve lost
But our capacity of love.
There will always be a big void
In our life and a hole in our

Hearts that will never heal.
Our souls will grieve forever.
Will we forget or stop loving you?
No! Not now…not ever.

As this day is upon us,
Oh, how our hearts still hurt.
But even as I mourn your death,
We will always celebrate your birth.
It was the happiest day of our lives.


Although the curtain falls

There comes a time for all of us
When we must say goodbye
But memories of those we love
Live on and never die

Although the curtain falls at last
Is that a cause to grieve?
The future life is brighter still
If only we believe

So trust in God’s eternal care
And when the master calls
We’ll know a fairer world’s to come
Although the curtain falls


In Memory Of You

We want to always remember
The beautiful life you lived
And keep alive the memories we have
Through remembering what you did

For you're so special to all of us
A wonderful person indeed
Your love, laughter and warm smile
Reflected a heart that believed

Just in the everyday things we do
We remember your faith and love
In the words you spoke to help us through
Is a continued reminder for us

Although we miss you so very much
We know we'll see you once more
For this is the hope we have in God
Being re-united in the Lord

And as we gather we'll continue to share
Special times we went through
For these are memories that warm our hearts
As we honour the memory of you


Thoughts Today Memories Forever

Hope is like a candle's flame
That burns throughout the night.
No matter what the crisis is
You still can see some light.
It keeps you warm through many storms
And leads you through the rain.
When no-one else will care for you
It will burn away your pain.
And when you feel you cannot walk
another mile up hill,
Just take a step and find
Your light is brighter still.
Through all the trials and tribulations
Life has thrown at you,
Your candle's flame will lead the way
And make sure you can see.
So when your days are bright enough
That you can guide yourself,
Keep using your candle anyway-
to help somebody else.

Thinking of you and sending you my love. Love Liz & Stuart Maxwell x

How does a son continue without his mother

HE DOESNT

He may eat and he may sleep

He may breath and even speak

But

HE WILL NEVER BE THE SAME !

Do you make them laugh in Heaven,
does your smile bring them good cheer?
Do you make the sun shine brighter,
like you did when you were here?

The very mention of your name,
the memories of your smile,
The little things you said and did,
are with us all the while.

You meant so very much to us,
there’s nothing left to say,
Except that without you here
there is no perfect day.

For no-one knows the heartache,
that lies behind our smiles,
No-one knows how many times
we have broken down & cried.

We want to tell you something
so there won't be any doubt,
You're so wonderful to think of,
but so hard to be without.

We hold you close within our hearts,
and there you shall remain.
To walk with us throughout our lives,
until we meet again.

♥ In Our Hearts ♥
� Rose de Leon

We thought of you with love today,
But that is nothing new
We thought about you yesterday,
And days before that too.
We think of you in silence,
We often speak your name
Now all we have is memories,
And your picture in a frame.
Your memory is our keepsake,
With which we’ll never part
God has you in his keeping,
We have you in our heart.

WITHOUT YOU

My heart is torn in two

WITHOUT YOU

There is no sunshine

WITHOUT YOU

There is no joy

WITHOUT YOU

My heart will always cry

WITHOUT YOU

I am nothing

My beauitful mother that once was here

I want the world to know

I loved you very dear

WITHOUT YOU

I NEVER THOUGHT

I WOULD BE HERE WITHOUT YOU

♥ Wise Men Say ♥

•â—˜♥â—‹~•â—˜♥â—‹~•â—˜♥â—‹~•â—˜♥â—‹~•â—˜♥â—‹~•â—˜♥â—‹~•â—˜♥â—‹~•â—˜♥â—‹~

Wise men talk of worlds beyond
Worlds beyond our eyes,
A wondrous place of love and peace
To which the spirit flies.
Wise men say we come again
To live another span,
That death is just a stepping stone
A pause within the plan.
Mystics say that many lives
Are needed to ensure,
A perfect understanding
Of God's eternal law.
Wise men say with smiling eyes
Our lives are but a dream,
A brief illusion clothed in flesh
A role within a scheme.
Wise men say that nothing dies
It only changes form,
That life goes on despite the myth
We perish in death's storm.
So when our loved ones pass away
Let hope replace our pain,
Have faith and trust that God ensures
We shall all meet again.
