"When I must leave you for a little while, please do not grieve and shed wild tears, and hug your sorrow's to you through the years. But start out bravely with a gallant smile, and for my sake and in my name live on and do all things the same. Feed not your lonliness on empty days, but fill each waking hour in useful ways. Reach out your hand in comfort and cheer, and I in turn will comfort and hold you near. And never, never, be afraid to die, for I am waiting in the sky. Please leave the family a note of condolence, light a candle of remembrance or order a floral remembrance piece. Be comforted by these words: Revelation 21:4 - He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.
