Words of Comfort |
Sometimes
we need to find a few simple words that reach out to us and give us something to
hold onto . . .an insight on love or hope or understanding in which we might
find some measure of comfort.

What we keep in memory is ours unchanged forever
treasured memories keep you near
Loving memories last forever
At the going down of the sun, and in the morning we will remember them
Ever Remembered
Ever Remembered, Ever loved
you live with us in memory and will for evermore
Forever In Our Hearts
Memory Is Life's Sweetest Gift
Gone On From Our Home But Not From Our Hearts
Always Loved And Never Forgotten
Lovingly Remembered By The Family
Loving Memories Last Forever
Forever remembered
In Loving Memory Of . . .
Loved By All Who Knew Them
To Live In Hearts We Leave Behind Is Not To Die
Always Remembered
Lovingly Remembered
Gone But Not Forgotten
Never Will Your Memory Fade
In loving memory
But the memories last forever
This song is ended, but the melody lingers on
To live in the hearts of those we love is Not to die
Too well loved to ever be forgotten
Your love will light my way, your memory will be with me forever
Living with us in memory forever more
Fond memories linger every day, remembrance keeps him near
Whither thou goest, I will go
Greater love than this no one has, that one lay down his life for his friends -
God could not have made earthly ties so strong to break them in eternity
Yet in this heart’s most sacred place, thou, alone, shall dwell forever
where there is hatred, let me sew love
Your love will light my way, your memory will be with me forever
Always loving: always loved
I thank my God upon every remembrance of you
May God grant you eternal rest, dear soul
Humble love, and not proud science, keeps the door of heaven
The Lord watch between me and thee, while we are absent, one from the other
Always loving, always loved
To love is to place our happiness in the happiness of another
to know him was to love him
God Gives Us Love
I shall but love thee better after death
Love Is Eternal
Our Love Is Forever
Too well loved to ever be forgotten
A Friend Of Many And Sadly Missed
The hearts of those who truly love is paradise on earth
Ever Loved
Great love lives on
Life everlasting
Love lives on
Love it makes memory eternal
Where there is hatred let me sew love
Forever in our hearts
There is no love as precious as the love of a mother and father
We will meet again
Until we meet again
Lead kindly light
life is not forever; Love is
Love never ends
love lives on
Those we love remain with us; for love lives on
We Will love you always
Wither thou goest I will go
Take my hand, walk with me
Always together
we will always be together
i will always love you

PEACE-REST
A free spirit
She/He Fell Asleep In Peace
Gone fishin'
We lived together in happiness We rest together in peace
Home with God, which is far better
Resting with those they loved
Sleep on now, and take your rest
The Lord hath given him rest from all his enemies
At rest
At rest with God
Requiescat In Pac
Safe in the hallowed quiets of the past
Sweetly sleeping
Resting In Jesus
Until the veil lifts
Until the day breaks
Until the day break, and the shadows flee away - Cant. ii: 17
The end and the reward of toil is rest
Sleep undisturbed within the peaceful
shrine
Till angels wake thee with a note like thine
Thy rest is won
A Day Of Duty Done, A Day Of Rest Begun
Peace perfect peace
Eternal rest grant unto them 0 Lord
Made their souls rest in peace
Life's race well-run
Rest in peace
With The Lord
Rest Is Of The Lord
Our Loved One Sleeps Here

LIFE-SERVICE
I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith
The soul that suffers is stronger than the soul that rejoices
His mission on earth fulfilled
Everyone's life is a plan of God
Step softly, a dream lies buried here
To Act Justly, To Laugh Tenderly And To Walk Humbly With Our Lord
Well done, thou good and faithful servant - Matthew 25:21
Tears are often the telescope by which men see far into heaven
Grace was in all her steps, heaven in her eye, in every gesture dignity and love
Strength is born in the deep silence of long-suffering hearts, not amid
Life's a voyage that's Homeward bound
Step softly, an angel lies buried here
The acts of this life are the destiny of the next
She concealed her tears but shared her smiles
She loved people and laughter
His greatest joy was in making others happy
No-one is indispensable but some are irreplaceable
Faithful unto death
life's victory won
Blessed Are The Merciful
They Served God Well
A Fighter to the End
Of Tender Heart And Gentle Spirit
A Kind Heart And Generous Spirit
His daily prayer, far better understood in acts than words, was simply doing good
An Inspiration To All
A Gentle Person
Joy In Living
A fighter To The End
His was a man’s courage
He hath awakened from the dream of life
His daily prayer, far better understood in acts than words, was simply doing good
Well Done Thou Good And Faithful Servant

FAITH-HOPE-TRUST
This is the promise… the life everlasting
The Lord Is My Shepherd, I Shall Not Want
Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil
There never was night that had no morn
Death is only a shadow across the path to heaven
May Heavens Eternal Joy Be Thine
Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God
He hath awakened from the dream of life
Earth Has No Sorrow That Heaven Cannot Heal
The greatest attribute of Heaven is mercy
Trust In The Lord
Where there is sorrow there is holy ground
He that endureth to the end shall be saved
The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want
The righteous shall go into life eternal
This is the promise, life everlasting
Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil
Till We meet again
Until we meet again
Beyond the sunset
we meet to part and part to meet again
The Rose Still Grows behind the wall
Pray For Us
Hail Mary Pray For Us
Thy Will Be Done
I Will Lift Up Mine Eyes Unto The Hills
Was Born Anew
Amazing Grace
Say A Prayer When Passing
Life’s a voyage that’s homeward bound
Awaiting Christ's Return
What seem to us but dim funeral tapers may be heaven’s distant lamps
Hasten, oh blessed hour of reunion
Not my will, but thine be done
Death is the golden key that opens the Palace of eternity
Death is not a foe, but an inevitable adventure
Until we meet again
Not lost to memory! Not lost to love! But gone to our Father’s house, above
He gave thee, He took thee, and He will restore thee
Whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have eternal life
Until the day break, and the shadows flee away
Believe on Him to life everlasting
Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden
Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted

No jewel is as perfect as the innocence of childhood
What would the world be to us if children were no more?
A Little Child Shall Lead Them
God's garden has need of little flowers
Forever Young, Forever In Our Hearts
Sleep, my little one, sleep
Suffer The Little Children To Come Unto Me
Children bring their own love with them when they come
Little Boy Blue has gone away
Budded/Blossomed On Earth To Bloom In Heaven
Let thy child rest in hope and rise in glory
God Bless Our Child
Remembering a tiny angel
Our little angel
Children are the keys of paradise
Ours for a little while, with Jesus forever
God's garden has need of little flowers
Awaiting the touch of a little hand, and the smile of a little face
Lord, we give you our littlest angel
Children are the keys of paradise
No jewel is as perfect as the innocence of childhood
Let thy child rest in hope and rise in glory
Children are a heritage of the Lord
Our littlest angel who went back to heaven
An angel visited earth, and took a flower away
Sleep, my little one, sleep
So small, so sweet, so soon
The dutifulness of children is the foundation of all virtue

In God's Keeping
May the souls of the faithful departed through
the mercy of God rest in peace
He gave thee, He took thee, and He will restore thee
In His will is our peace
God took her home, it was as well, but in our hearts she livith still
Forever With The Lord
God bless thee wheresoe’er thou art in his great universe today
In God's House There Are Many Mansions
Trust In God
In God We Trust
Always Trusting In God
For the Lord Is My Keeper
Safe In The Arms Of Jesus
Called by One who loves him dearly
God Is Our Refuge And Strength
With Christ, Which Is Far Better
In God's Hands
Asleep In Jesus
In God's Care
God Is Love
He Reached Down His Hand For Me
Come unto to me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden
Heart Of Sorrow, God Speaks To Us Best
Every man's life is a plan of God
God gives us life. Someone to live for he lends us
In His will is our peace
take my hand, walk with me
God took him home, it was his will, but in our hearts he liveth still

He longest lives who most to others gives, himself forgetting
Earth hath no sorrow that Heaven cannot heal
Where there is much light, the shadows are deepest
Tears are often the telescope by which We see far into heaven
Hush my dear, be still and slumber: Jolly angels guard your bed
The dutifulness of children is the foundation of all virtue
‘Tis not the whole of life to live, nor all of death to die
Oh, for boyhood's time of June, crowding years into one brief moon
The child is the father of the man
Death is not a foe, but an inevitable adventure
There never was night that had no morn
Now twilight lets her curtain down and pins it with a star
God could not have made earthly ties so strong to break them in eternity

We did not attempt to attribute these fine words to their authors or sources so as not to distract from the messages they convey; we felt that this is not the place for such an endeavour. These quotations are in common usage but it should be possible to identify the author (in most cases) if one is so inclined. We are indeed grateful, however, to those who have brought these expressions of love and hope into our lives.
