She Is Gone You can shed tears that she is gone Or you can smile because she has lived You can close your eyes and pray that she will come back Or you can open your eyes and see all that she has left Your heart can be empty because you cant see her Or you can be full of the love that you shared You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday Or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday You can remember her and only that she is gone Or you can cherish her memory and let it live on You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back Or you can do what she would want: smile, open your eyes, love and go on. - by David Harkins When I come to the end of the road And the sun has set for me I want no rites in a gloom filled room Why cry for a soul set free - Christina Rossetti, Death is nothing at all, I have only slipped into the next room I am I and you are you Whatever we were to each other, that we are still. Henry Scott Holland When I come to the end of my journey And I travel my last weary mile Just forget if you can, that I ever frowned And remember only the smile - Mrs. Lyman Hancock You can shed tears that she is gone Or you can smile because she has lived You can close your eyes and pray that she will come back Or you can open your eyes and see all that she has left Your heart can be empty because you cant see her Or you can be full of the love that you shared You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday Or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday You can remember her and only that she is gone Or you can cherish her memory and let it live on You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back Or you can do what she would want: smile, open your eyes, love and go on - She Is Gone by David Harkins Brookside Funeral Home is caring for the family.
