Verses for Sympathy Cards

When those we love have left this earth, we still can feel them near. We’ll see a picture, hear a song, and it’s just like they are here. And when we call upon our faith, when we believe and trust, we know the ones we care about are always close to us.

Love beyond the grave

Take him and cut him out in little stars
And he will make the face of heav'n so fine
That all the world will be in love with night
And pay no worship to the garish sun.

-Benjamin Franklin, 22 February 1756

Every blade in the field-
Every leaf in the forest-
Lays down its life in its season,
As beautifully as it was taken up.
