  1. Please accept our most heartfelt sympathies for your loss.
    Although it's difficult today to see beyond the sorrow,
    may looking back in memory help comfort you tomorrow
    May your heart and soul find peace and comfort.
    May the blessings of love be upon you,
    May its peace abide with you,
    May its essence illuminate your heart,
    Now and forever more
    Hold tight to memories for comfort,
    lean on your friends for strength,
    and always remember how much you are cared about.
    We pray the love of God enfolds you during your difficult times
    and he helps you heal with the passage of time.
    May the love of those around you help you through the days ahead.
    Our thoughts are with you and your family during this difficult time.
    Our hearts go out to you in your time of sorrow.
    Perhaps they are not the stars, but rather openings in Heaven
    where the love of our lost ones pours through
    and shines down upon us to let us know that are happy
