We will always remember you.

God saw you needed rest,
His garden must be beautiful,
He only takes the best.

And in my life — always.

Hard-working hands at rest,
God broke our hearts to prove to us,

We think of you in silence,
We often speak your name,
But all we have are memories,
And your picture in a frame.
Eternal Rest & Light
Your work on earth is fully done,
The race well run, the crown well won.
Now safe within God’s arms you rest,
At peace, redeemed, forever blessed.
The light you gave still warms our days,
Your memory shines in endless praise.
Until our hearts are joined above,
We keep your faith, your hope, your love.
Religious or Spiritual
May the choirs of angels come to greet you,
May they speed you to paradise.
God saw you getting tired,
A cure was not to be,
So He put His arms around you
And whispered, “Come to me.”
Until we meet again,
May God hold you
In the palm of His hand.
Reunited with loved ones in Heaven above,
Remembered always with endless love.
I am the resurrection and the life.
He who believes in Me will live, even though he dies.
Couples or Families
Together in life, together in rest,
God took you both — He only takes the best.
A lifetime of love shared on earth,
Now reunited in Heaven.
Two hearts that beat as one,
Together again forever.
