TO ALL OUR DEPARTED FRIENDS AND LOVED ONES

 To all our friends and loved ones now departed--

We may not have been able to say goodbye due to

Circumstances beyond our control:  whether accident,

Pandemic, act of violence or terminal disease:  We miss you.

No one knows when one will leave us, it's just their time

Here is ended and they have to go.

Even if they're sick and you think you're all prepared--

Their passing is a shock and devastating blow.

Never doubt that they loved you and knew you loved

Them too.  Arguements and estrangements cannot

Break the bond you have.  Honest, true friendship and

Love of heart are everlasting, finite it is not.

Remember the time you had together was precious,

And will stay safe tucked in your heart; nothing and

No one can take that from you.  You may sometimes feel

Their presence, or the touch of their loving hand.

Know they are not suffering anymore--God has

Made them all brand new.  You will feel grief and sadness,

Stronger at times than others--but always know they want

You to go on and remember them with gladness.

Even when their physical presence is gone, and

You can't see each other face to face--

You can still communicate heart to heart with them,

That can't be replaced.
