Memories of the heart ( unknown ) read by Rose Gilder

Feel no guilt in laughter , she ’ d known how much you care . Feel no sorrow in a smile that she is not here to share . You cannot grieve forever ; She would not want you to . She ’ d hope that you could carry on the way you always do . So , talk about the good times and the way you showed you cared . The days you spent together , all the happiness you shared . Let the memories surround you , a word someone may say Will suddenly recapture a time an hour a day . That brings her back as clearly as though she were still here . And fills you with the feeling that she is always near . For if you keep those moments , you will never be apart And she will live forever locked safe within your heart .

The Prayers

Prayers to be followed by the Lord ’ s Prayer
Lord ’ s Prayer Our Father , who art in heaven , hallowed be thy Name , thy kingdom come , thy will be done , on earth as it is in heaven . Give us this day our daily bread . And forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us . And lead us not into temptation , but deliver us from evil . For thine is the kingdom , the power , and the glory for ever and ever . Amen .
