At Rest
Rest In Peace
In God’s Loving Care
We will meet again
In Loving Memory
Until We Meet Again
At Rest With The Lord
Gone but Not Forgotten
Blessed Be Their Memory
The Lord is My Shepard
Into Thy Hands I Commend My Spirit
Of such are the kingdom of heaven
Suffer little children to come unto me
What we keep in memory is ours forever
If tears could build a stairway, and memories a lane, I’d walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

O, Lord I put her in thy hands.
She lives with us in memory and will for evermore.
May God grant you eternal rest, dear Mother.
She concealed her tears but shared her smiles.
God took her home, it was his will, but in our hearts she liveth still.
Her memory is enshrined in our hearts.
She served and kept the faith.
She would rather give than receive.
God called her from among us to a home of eternal rest.
Always loving, always loved.
To know her was to love her.
Her children arise up and call her blessed.
No man is indispensable but some are irreplaceable.
His friendship was an inspiration, his love a blessing
He was beloved in life.
His greatest joy was in making others happy.
My pal on earth, God’s angel in Heaven.
A man greatly beloved.
To know him was to love him.
We loved him a lot but God loved him more
If tears could build a stairway, and memories a lane,
I’d walk right up to Heaven, and bring you home again.
No farewell words were spoken, no time to say goodbye,
You were gone before we knew it, and only God knows why.
