Listen With Your Heart
Memories are a treasure
Time cannot take away…
So may you be surrounded
By happy ones today…
May all the love and tenderness
Of special years well spent
Come back today to fill your heart
With beauty and content…
And may you walk down MEMORY LANE
And meet the one you love
For while you cannot see him
He'll be watching from above…
And if you trust you're dreaming
Your faith will make it true…
And if you listen with your heart
He'll come and be with you…
So for his sake be happy
And show him that his love
Has proven strong and big enough
To reach down from above…
And you will never walk alone
When Memory's Door swings wide…
For you'll find that you're dear One.
Is always by your side.

We don't know your family, but when we read the obituary I thought of my grandpa - he was killed in an accident at 30 years old, leaving my grandma with five children. May Heaven's choicest angels be with your family.
