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, Just thought of us that day.
Whatever you did to console our hearts, We thank you so much whatever the part.

~~Her Journey's Just Begun"
Don't think of her as gone away, her journey's just begun; Life holds so many facets ... this earth is only one.
Just think of her as resting from the sorrow and the tears. In a place of warmth and comfort Where there are no days and years.
Think how she must be wishing that we could know, today, How nothing but our sadness can really pass away.
And think of her as living in the hearts of those she touched... For nothing loved is ever lost, and she was loved so much.
