Those Who Live in Our Hearts Will Be With Us Always
We cannot control the movement of time,
nor can we control our own destiny
or the destinies of those we love.
But we can take comfort in knowing
that those who have lived in our hearts
are never really gone.
For as long as we keep them with us,
in our hearts and our thoughts,
they will be with us always.
For love, which is timeless,
Never ceases to exist.
Messages:
Dear Emily & family, When we lose our loved ones Though sadness lingers on; Loving memories linger too, To give us comfort & strength For each day ahead. With sympathy and love, Leta
