Re: NEED HELP...Quick
Jillian I found this one.. and I'm searching to see if there is any others as well:
Although death has separated us physically, faith and love have bound us eternally. Though we cannot see you, we know you are here, though we cannot touch you, we feel the warmth of your smile, as we begin our new lives.
Today we pause to reflect upon those who have shaped our character, molded our spirits and touches our hearts.
Let us not forget the ones that time and god has departed from our world, but not before they graced us with special memories only they could create. May our loved ones that touched our lives deeply, but only stayed briefly, be looking over us today as we create our new lives as one.
The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched; they must be felt with the heart.'

I don't have it on this computer but if you do a GOOGLE search for 'When tomorrow starts without me'. That is a really nice one.

Re: NEED HELP...Quick
I also found these:
#1 Family Chain
We little knew that morning, God was going to call your name, In life we loved you dearly, In death we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you, You did not go alone. For part of us went with you The day God called you home.
You left us beautiful memories, Your love is still our guide, And though we cannot see you, You are always at our side.
Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same, But as God calls us one by one, The chain will link again.
# 2 In Our Hearts (adapted by Jean Gifford)
We thought of you with love today. But that is nothing new. We thought about you yesterday. And days before that too. We think of you in silence. We remember how you look. Now all we have is memories. And your pictures in our book. Your memory is out keepsake. With which we'll never part. God has you in his keeping. We have you in our heart..
#3 Angels
When you were born, an angel smiled,
As you became a child, an angel sat on your shoulder
When you became an adult, an angel held your hand
As you grew old, an angel walked down the road with you,
And, when you died, another angel got their wings.
--Unknown
#4 In Loving Memory
Although we can't see you We know you are here Smiling down, watching over us As we say 'I DO' Forever in our hearts Forever in our lives And so we say our vows In loving memory of you.

Re: NEED HELP...Quick
I found that one for you too...
When tomorrow starts without me, And I'm not there to see, If the sun should rise and find your eyes all filled with tears for me,
I wish so much you wouldn't cry The way you did today, While thinking of the many things, We didn't get to say.
I know how much you love me, As much as I love you, and each time that you think of me, I know you'll miss me too.
But when tomorrow starts without me, Please try to understand, That an angel came and called my name, And took me by the hand, and said my place was ready, In heaven far above, And that I'd have to leave behind All those I dearly love.
But as I turned to walk away, A tear fell from my eye For all my life, I'd always thought, I didn't want to die.
I had so much to live for, So much left yet to do, It seemed almost impossible, That I was leaving you.
I thought of all the yesterdays The good ones and the bad, I thought of all the love we shared, and all the fun we had
If I could re-live yesterday Just even for a while, I'd say good-bye and kiss you And maybe see you smile.
But then I fully realized, That this could never be, For emptiness and memories, would take the place of me.
And when I thought of worldly things, I might miss come tomorrow, I thought of you, and when I did, My heart was filled with sorrow.
But when I walked through heaven's gates, I felt so much at home When God looked down and smiled at me, From His great golden throne.
He said, 'This is eternity, And all I've promised you.' Today your life on earth is past, But here life starts anew
I promise no tomorrow, But today will always last, And since each day's the same way There's no longing for the past.
You have been so faithful, So trusting and so true. Though there were times You did some things You knew you shouldn't do.
But you have been forgiven And now at last you're free. So won't you come and take my hand And share my life with me?
So when tomorrow starts without me, Don't think we're far apart, For every time you think of me, I'm right here, in your heart.
