Hi Dan, I found these words in the paper this morning and immediately thought they were written just for you. Some words I have modified to fit you specifically and wish you to know you are still very much part of your family's life. We know you loved your family but wish to remind you that your love is also reciprocated.
The years go quickly but the days are long without you;
We think of you often, memories of you are everywhere;
In the rising and setting sun we remember your love of colorful skies; In the warm breezes of fall we think of your love of the country;
In the chilly breezes of winter we think of the warmth and comfort you created in our homes;
As life renews in the spring we think of your love of nature;
In the relaxing days of summer we think of your beautiful smile and love of the outdoors, the family cottage and lake;
At holidays and family events we think of your warm greetings, fun and engaging conversation;
You are constantly with us;
We long to talk with you, laugh with you and feel your genuine caring.
Today we ask God to Bridge us from the intense sadness of your loss to the promise of tomorrow for our lives;
We look forward to the day that we will be with you in that place of eternal peace;
Until then we remember you. We will love you forever.
