Poco sabíamos ese día, Dios iba a llamar tu nombre. En la vida te amamos mucho, en la muerte, hacemos lo mismo. Rompió nuestros corazones para perderte. No fuiste solo. Por una parte de nosotros fuimos contigo, el día que Dios te llamó a casa. Nos dejaste hermosos recuerdos, tu amor sigue siendo nuestro guía. Y aunque no podamos verte, siempre estás a nuestro lado. Nuestra cadena familiar está rota, y nada parece ser lo mismo, pero como...

Into the darkness and warmth of the earth We lay you down Into the sadness and smiles of our memories We lay you down Into the cycle of living and dying and rising again We lay you down May you rest in peace, in fulfilment, in loving May you run straight home in God’s embrace

Tear drops, slow and steady, The pain so real and true, God took another angel, And that angel, dear, was you. Angel wings, upon the clouds, Your body softly sleeps, Hush now little angel, No more tears you have to weep. Little prayers are sent to you, The short life you led; Your family will never forget you, So rest your little head. I know God will look after you, Now you are truly alive, Your spirit soars beyond the moon, Your legacy will survive. You’re beautiful, you’re...

To the living, I am gone,  To the sorrowful, I will never return,  To the angry, I was cheated,  But to the happy, I am at peace, And to the faithful, I have never left. I cannot speak, but I can listen.  I cannot be seen, but I can be heard.  So as you stand upon a shore gazing at a beautiful sea,  As you look upon a flower and admire its simplicity,  Remember me. Remember me in your heart:  Your thoughts, and your memories,  Of the times we...

When I come to the end of the road, And the sun has set for me, I want no rites in a gloom filled room. Why cry for a soul set free Miss me a little . . . But not too long, And not with your head bowed low, Remember the love that we once shared . . . Miss me, but let me go! For this is a journey we all must take, And each must go alone. It’s all part of the Master’s plan, A step on the road to home. When you are lonely and sick of heart, Go to the friends we know And bury your...

We little knew that morning that 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; for part of us went with you the day God called you home. You left us peaceful memories, your love is still our guide, and though 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.

If I could but see, again your face, Oh how much my heart would race, And nothing could ever efface, The mem’ry of our last embrace. If I could climb to Heaven’s gate And just look in to watch awhile, Then I know I could joyfully wait, If I could see your happy smile. If I could hear the song you sing And your laughter bless my ears, Then grief would lose its sting And a smile would dry my tears. But faith would lose its esteem, And Heaven’d lose its stealth, So we must...

I’m blessed to call you sister, I also call you friend; You’ve loved me unconditionally, And stood through thick and thin. You’ve shared my joys and sorrows, My laughter and my tears. You’ve been my inspiration, As we grew up through the years. When we were little children We laughed and played together; Then growing up you stood by me, Through good and stormy weather. There’s something God has given us, That’s more than family; He’s placed a love...

It’s a time of heartfelt sadness When a loved one passes on But know your loved one lives in joy And peace where he (or she) has gone Oh how much he will be missed That’s where the sadness lies But others who have missed him now rejoice in Heaven’s skies We know one day we’ll join him Because our time on earth will flee We’ll then live with him forever Throughout all eternity.
