In Loving Memory

We remember a life today

and all that made her who she was -

all that delighted her,

that made her laugh

or moved her to tears,

calling to mind her story,

and the many lives she touched along the way

We honor a life today -

her outlook,

her inner strength,

and the things that she believed in -

recognizing her goodness,

her uniqueness,

her own special gifts

shared generously with the rest of the world.

We celebrate a life today

and her connections with family and friends

and all who loved her -

feeling enriched for having known her

and so grateful for our time with her,

for the way she affected us ...

inspired us ...

and affirmed for us

that this is how a beautiful life should be lived.
