"Little Dove"
On the wings of this white dove I’ll set your spirit free. Up into the big deep sky, to heaven, where you’ll be. I know God has a plan for us, he wants us by his side. But it is hard for us to understand when we are left behind. Little dove, help lift our hearts as we watch you go, God is there if we just ask, because He loves us so. "With the Rustle of Wings" In Loving Memory of my brother, John Russell With the rustle of wings I’ll take your memories along As I soar up to the heavens From where they just played that song. Just part your hands open As you feel my beating heart. My soul is alive as I Now depart. With the rustle of wings, I’ll enter the pearly gates. I’ll be with family from long ago and For you I will wait. Always keep this feather close As a reminder of my souls release And in every whisper of the wind you’ll hear the rustle of my wings. ~ Author: Julie Johnson
YOU NEVER SAID GOODBYE You never said I'm leaving, You never said goodbye. You were gone before I knew it, And only God knew why. A million times I needed you, A million times I cried. If love alone could have saved you, You never would have died. In life I loved you dearly, In death I love you still. In my heart you hold a place, That no one could ever fill. It broke my heart to lose you, But you didn't go alone For part of me went with you, The day God took you home. YOU NEVER SAID GOODBYE Author Unknown |

She's Gone
You can shed tears that she is gone or you can smile because she has lived. You can close your eyes and pray that she’ll come back or you can open your eyes and see all she’s left. Your heart can be empty because you can’t see her or you can be full of the love you shared. You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday. You can remember her and only that she’s gone or you can cherish her memory and let it live on. You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back or you can do what she’d want: smile, open your eyes, love and go on. Anonymous I Said A Prayer For You Today
I said a prayer for you today And know God must have heard- I felt the answer in my heart Although He spoke no word! I didn't ask for wealth or fame (I knew you wouldn't mind)- I asked Him to send treasures Of a far more lasting kind! I asked that He'd be near you At the start of each new day To grant you health and blessings And friends to share your way! I asked for happiness for you In all things great and small- But it was for His loving care I prayed for most of all!

GOD'S GARDEN
God looked around his garden And found an empty place, He then looked down upon the earth And saw your tired face. He put his arms around you And lifted you to rest. God’s garden must be beautiful He always takes the best. He knew that you were suffering He knew you were in pain. He knew that you would never Get well on earth again. He saw the road was getting rough And the hills were hard to climb. So he closed your weary eyelids And whispered, ‘Peace be thine’. It broke our hearts to lose you But you didn’t go alone, For part of us went with you The day God called you home. –Anonymous

BROKEN CHAIN
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, 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 at 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. |

WHEN TOMORROW STARTS WITHOUT ME
When tomorrow starts without me, and I’m not here to see,
If the sun should rise, and find our eyes, all filled with tears for me.
I wish you wouldn’t cry, the way you did today,
While thinking of the many things, we just did not say.
I know how much you love me, as much as I love you.
Each time that you think of me, I know you will miss me too.
When tomorrow starts without me, please try to understand.
That an angel came, and called my name, and took me by the hand.
The angel said, my place was ready, in heaven far above.
And that I would have to leave behind, all those I Dearly Love.
But when I walked through Heaven’s Gates, I felt so much at home.
When God Looked down and smiled at me from his golden throne.
He said this is Eternity, and all I promised you.
Today my life on earth is done, but here it starts a new.
I promised no tomorrow, for today will always last.
And since each day’s the exact same way, there is no longing for the past.
So When Tomorrow starts without me do not think we’re apart.
For every time you think of me, remember I’m right here in your heart.
When tomorrow starts without me, and I’m not here to see,
If the sun should rise, and find our eyes, all filled with tears for me.
I wish you wouldn’t cry, the way you did today,
While thinking of the many things, we just did not say.
I know how much you love me, as much as I love you.
Each time that you think of me, I know you will miss me too.
When tomorrow starts without me, please try to understand.
That an angel came, and called my name, and took me by the hand.
The angel said, my place was ready, in heaven far above.
And that I would have to leave behind, all those I Dearly Love.

Today my life on earth is done, but here it starts a new.
I promised no tomorrow, for today will always last.
And since each day’s the exact same way, there is no longing for the past.
So When Tomorrow starts without me do not think we’re apart.
For every time you think of me, remember I’m right here in your heart.
Don’t Cry For Me
Don’t cry for me. I will be okay.
Heaven is my home now, and this is where I’ll stay.
Don’t cry for me. I’m where I belong.
I want you to be happy and try to stay strong.
Don’t cry for me. It was just my time,
But I will see you someday on the other side.
Don’t cry for me. I’m not alone.
The angels are with me to welcome me home.
Don’t cry for me, for I have no fear.
All my pain is gone, and Jesus took my tears.
Don’t cry for me. This is not the end.
I’ll be waiting here for you when we meet again.
Don’t cry for me. I will be okay.
Heaven is my home now, and this is where I’ll stay.
Don’t cry for me. I’m where I belong.
I want you to be happy and try to stay strong.
Don’t cry for me. It was just my time,
But I will see you someday on the other side.
Don’t cry for me. I’m not alone.
The angels are with me to welcome me home.
Don’t cry for me, for I have no fear.
All my pain is gone, and Jesus took my tears.
Don’t cry for me. This is not the end.
I’ll be waiting here for you when we meet again.
“Remember Me”
Speak of me as you have always done.
Remember the good times, laughter, and fun.
Share the happy memories we’ve made.
Do not let them wither or fade.
I’ll be with you in the summer’s sun,
And when the winter’s chill has come.
I’ll be the voice that whispers in the breeze.
I’m peaceful now, put your mind at ease.
I’ve rested my eyes and gone to sleep,
But the memories we’ve shared are yours to keep.
Sometimes our final days may be a test.
But remember me when I was at my best.
Although things may not be the same,
Don’t be afraid to use my name.
Let your sorrow last for just a while
Comfort each other and try to smile.
I’ve lived a life filled with joy and fun.
Live on now, make me proud of what you’ll become.
Speak of me as you have always done.
Remember the good times, laughter, and fun.
Share the happy memories we’ve made.
Do not let them wither or fade.
I’ll be with you in the summer’s sun,
And when the winter’s chill has come.
I’ll be the voice that whispers in the breeze.
I’m peaceful now, put your mind at ease.
I’ve rested my eyes and gone to sleep,
But the memories we’ve shared are yours to keep.
Sometimes our final days may be a test.
But remember me when I was at my best.
Although things may not be the same,
Don’t be afraid to use my name.
Let your sorrow last for just a while
Comfort each other and try to smile.
I’ve lived a life filled with joy and fun.
Live on now, make me proud of what you’ll become.
