Hold on to what is good even if it is a handful of earth.
Hold on to what you believe even if it is a tree which stands by itself.
Hold on to what you must do even if it is a long way from here.
Hold on to life even when it is easier letting go.
Hold on to my hand even when I have gone away from you.
by Eric Clapton, Will Jennings
Would you hold my hand, if I saw you in heaven?
Would you help me stand, if I saw you in heaven?
I'll find my way through night and day
'Cause I know I just can't stay here in heaven
Beyond the door, there's peace I'm sure
And I know there'll be no more tears in heaven
Would you know my name, if I saw you in heaven?
Would you be the same, if I saw you in heaven?
I must be strong and carry on
'Cause I know I don't belong here in heaven
Sympathy Quotes
Poet: Matthew Arnold
Come to me in my dreams, and then
By day I shall be well again!
For then the night will more than pay
The hopeless longing of the day.

Poet: Grace Noll Crownell
Let me come in where you are weeping, friend,
And let me take your hand.
I, who have known a sorrow such as yours,
Can understand.
Let me come in - I would be very still
Beside you in your grief;
I would not bid you cease your weeping, friend,
Tears bring relief.
Let me come in - I would only breathe a prayer,
And hold your hand,
For I have known a sorrow such as yours,
And understand.
Poet: Unknown
Goodbyes are not forever.
Goodbyes are not the end.
They simply mean I'll miss you
Until we meet again!

An Irish Prayer
Until we meet again,
may God hold you
in the palm of his hand.
If I should go tomorrow
It would never be goodbye,
For I have left my heart with you,
So don't you ever cry.
The love that's deep within me,
Shall reach you from the stars,
You'll feel it from the heavens,
And it will heal the scars.
Mary Frye
Do not stand at my grave and weep
Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there, I do not sleep
I am a 1,000 winds that blow
I am the diamond glints on snow
I am the sun on ripened grain
I am the gentle autumn rain
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled light
I am the soft star that shines at night
Do not stand at my grave and cry
I am not there; I did not die.
Quotes For Funerals
by Thomas Love Peacock
He kept at true good humour's mark
The social flow of pleasure's tide:
He never made a brow look dark,
Nor caused a tear, but when he died.
Poet: Unknown
Dearest son how I miss you.
Miss you more than tongue can tell,
But in Heaven we hope to meet you,
There Jesus does all things well.
The blow was hard, the loss severe.
To part with one we loved so dear.
Why did he have to go when life seemed fair.
And no dark clouds were near.

We celebrate the life you had,
Full of joy, full of love.

Till one day we meet again.

I belong to you and you to me,
I hate that we are so far apart.
One day we will be, together again,
And then never separate our heart.
Poet: Julie Hebert
I hate that I now wake up without you,
I hate having an empty bed.
I hope one day soon, I will stop missing you,
But forever I will love you.

When I am gone from this earth,
Know I’ll be in your heart always.
Through time and space, there’ll always be a place,
Where you and I will again walk the hallways.

But we will meet again someday.
I’m sure of this, as my presence will still exist,
In you and others everyday.

Poet: Julie Hebert
When you remember me,
Make sure a smile will arise.
Don’t think about the way I left,
Thats not very wise.
Think of all the happiness,
That we share together.
We loved to laugh and have great fun,
Especially in the great weather.
So when you remember me,
Think of those great times.
Whenever you remember me,
They’ll bring a sparkle to your eyes.
Poet: Julie Hebert
Here I sit on my couch,
Staring out at the blowing trees.
Its funny how that reminds me,
So much of you with such gentle ease.
When I sit and think of you,
My heart aches every time.
But I know you’re up in heaven,
And will see you again sometime.
Poet: Julie Hebert
I hate the fact your gone,
I wanted so much more.
Our time together went so quick,
It seems as if we’re scorn.
I know that our time is on pause,
And one day we’ll meet again.
I just wish we could have had more,
Time in our domain.
But with time my anger will leave,
And all I’ll feel is love.
I know you’re watching over me,
Up in heaven far above.
