I found a poem I thought might help. Your loved one has passed through the Gate, To be with Jesus in Heaven above; Now into a realm surrounded by flowers, Where all is joy,Peace and Love. In this garden where flowers never fade, The beauty out-shines the brightest star; Weep when you must, but do remember, God is with you whereever you are. God loves you and felt your deep pain, When he softly called your dear one away; He will never leave or forsake you, Lean on him and don't forget to pray. When God reached out his loving hand, It was not easy for you to say 'good bye' He will gently dry each fallen tear, Some day you will understand 'why'. We pray God will comfort you in your loss, We think of you in this time of sorrow; Family and friends wait to help you, Trusting for a new and brighter tomorrow.
