As Long as You Live and Remember-
Your Loved One Lives in Your Heart!
May tender memories soften your grief,
May fond recollection bring you relief,
And may you find comfort and peace in the thought
Of the joy that knowing your loved one brought -
For time and space can never divide
Or keep your loved one from your side
When memory paints in colors true
The happy hours that belong to you.
