Our Deepest Sympathy
Please accept our condolences on the loss of your wife, mother, and grandmother. We know this is a terrible loss and that she will be truly missed. Hope these few words will offer some little comfort:
You'll feel a warmth around you
like her presence is so near,
And you'll close your eyes to visualize
her face when she was here,
You'll endure the times you spent together
and they're locked inside you hearts,
For as long as you have those memories
you will never be apart,
Even though you cannot speak anymore
her voice will always be there,
Because every night before you go to sleep
You have her in your prayers.
With warmest regards,
Tom, Sheila, and Sara Murtha
