Memories of the ones weve loved Still cast their gentle glow To grace our days and light our paths Wherever we may go. Although at such a time as this Your many friends will say That time will ease your sorrow And take your grief away What is truer and more comforting Is to know, deep in your heart, That in cherished thought and memory Loved ones never really part.
