I have learned never to underestimate the healing power we all have. It is always there to be used for the highest good. May you find comfort in the memories that are yours to cherish always, and strength in the companionship of those who share your loss. In the quiet moments, when the hurt is hard to bear, may love become your shelter and may the beauty of precious memories be your comfort. You are held in gentle thought and prayer.
