Words of Peace
"A loved one is a treasure of the heart and to lose a loved one
is like losing a piece of yourself.
But the love that this person brought you...did not leave,
for the essence of the soul lingers.
It cannot escape your heart, for it has been there forever.
Cling to the memories and let them find their way to heal you.
The love and laughter, the joy in the togetherness
you shared...will make you strong.
You'll come to realize that your time together,
no matter how long, was meant to be,
and that you were blessed to have such a
precious gift of love in your life.
Keep your heart beating with the loving memories and trust
in your faith to guide you through.
Know that though life moves on...the beauty of love stays behind
to surround and embrace you.
Your loved one has left you that...to hold in your heart forever."
