| No Person is Ever Truly Alone by Richard Fife No person is ever truly alone. Those who live no more, Whom we loved, Echo still within our thoughts, Our words, our hearts. And what they did And who they were Becomes a part of all that we are, Forever. |

Veteran's Burial and Cremation Rights
| Grief by Sandra K. Hester I wish I had the words to comfort you, In all your pain and grief. But I know there is nothing I can say or do, to help you find relief. Your numbness will soon subside, and the pain and tears will be real. Just remember no matter what, It's ok to feel what you feel. Each day may seem like a burden, sometimes it will be hard to face. But they will never stop loving you, just because they're in a new and better place They will live on in your hearts, you will all have memories to share. And when your time on earth is through, with open arms, they will be waiting for you there. |
