‘The Fallen Limb’ (author unknown) A limb has fallen from the family tree. I keep hearing a voice that says, "Grieve not for me. Remember the best times, The laughter, the song. The good life I lived While I was strong. Continue my heritage, I'm counting on you. Keep smiling and surely The sun will shine through. My mind is at ease, My soul is at rest. Remembering all, How I truly was blessed. Continue traditions, No matter how small. Go on with your life, Don’t worry about falls I miss you all dearly, So, keep up your chin. Until the day comes We’re together again.

‘Thy will be done’ by Frances Gurney (1858-1932) You left quietly without a fuss You always had a smile to share A laugh, a joke A time to care A wonderful nature Warm and true These are the memories I have of you A beautiful life Came to an end You died as you lived Everyone’s friend You gave me year’s of happiness Then sorrow came with tears You left me lovely memories I will treasure through the years

‘As We Look Back’ Clare James As we look back over time We find ourselves wondering ..... Did we remember to thank you enough For all you have done for us? For all the times you were by our sides To help and support us ..... To celebrate our successes To understand our problems And accept our defeats? Or for teaching us by your example, The value of hard work, good judgment, Courage and integrity? We wonder if we ever thanked you For the sacrifices you made. To let us have the very best? And for the simple things Like laughter, smiles and times we shared? If we have forgotten to show our Gratitude enough for all the things you did, We're thanking you now. And we are hoping you knew all along, How much you meant to us.
