Expressions of Thanks
People everywhere in life, from every walk and station, from every town, city, and state have given us so many things
intangible and dear. We could not begin to count them all
or even make them clear. We only know we owe so much
to people everywhere.
Perhaps you sent a lovely card
or sat quietly in a chair
Perhaps you sent a floral piece
If so we saw it there.
Perhaps you spoke the kindest words
as any friend could say;
Perhaps you were not there at all,
I
i
just thought of us today
I
Whatever you did to console our hearts
:
We thank you so much, whatever the part.

Highway ofLife
The Highway we travel is the road oflife. We travel it in ease or we travel it in strife.
There are many roads to travel, But you can only travel once.
But you never see the end until your life is done! There are many people that travel this road While you are passing through. But when you reach the very end There's no-one there but you.
Words of Comfort
As Long As You Live Always Rentember That Your Loved ones Live in Your Heart
May tender memories soften your grief,
May fond recollection bring you relief,
May you find comfort and peace in the thought Of the joy that knowing your loved ones brought
For time and space can never divide
Or keep your loved ones from your side
When memory paints in colors true
The happy hours that belongs to you.
