Remember Me

Fill not your hearts with pain and sorrow,

but remember me in every tomorrow.

Remember the joy, the laughter, the smiles,

I’ve only gone to rest a little while.

 

Although my leaving causes pain and grief,

my going has eased my heart,

and given me relief.

 

So dry your eyes and remember me,

not as I am now, but as I used to be.

Because, I will remember you all,

and look on with a smile.

Understand in your hearts,

I’ve only gone to rest a little while.

 

As long as I have the love of each of you,

I can live my life in the hearts of all of you.

 

Georgia Cremation-Columbus is assisting the family with the arrangements.
