I would love to read it. Thank you... I'll find you later if you forget

ok sounds good lol! it's awesome! made me cry

Those we love dont go away
They walk beside us everyday
Unseen,unheard, but always there
Still loved, still missed and very dear

Here is mine:
We remember our grandparents who could not be with us today. Through the years their comfort and wisdom have helped to shape our lives. They are here today smiling down on us and watching over us to ensure a wonderful ceremony and a long enduring life together. We love them with all our hearts and they will always be in our thoughts and prayers.

You know the one I used (I wanted it short) but these were others I had saved, although I have no author names for any of them

We do not need a special day to bring you to our minds.
The days we do not think of you are very hard to find.
Each morning when we awake we know that you are gone.
And no one knows the heartache as we try to carry on.
Our hearts still ache with sadness and secret tears still flow.
What it meant to lose you no one will ever know.
Our thoughts are always with you, your place no one can fill.
In life we loved you dearly; in death we love you still.

There will always to be a heartache, and often a silent tear.
But always a precious memory of the days when you were here.
If tears would make a staircase, and heartaches make a lane,
We'd walk the path to heaven and bring you home again.
We hold you close within our hearts; and there you will remain,
To walk with us throughout our lives until we meet again.
Our family chain is broken now, and nothing seems the same,
But as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again.

2. Hebrew Proverb
Say not in grief 'he is no more',

but live in thankfulness that he was.

Remember Me

To the living, I am gone,
To the sorrowful, I will never return,
To the angry, I was cheated,
But to the happy, I am at peace,
And to the faithful, I have never left.
I cannot speak, but I can listen.
I cannot be seen, but I can be heard.
So as you stand upon a shore gazing at a beautiful sea--
As you look upon a flower and admire it's simplicity--
Remember Me.
Remember me in your heart.
Your thoughts, and your memories,
Of the times we loved,
The times we cried,
The times we fought,
The times we laughed.
For if you always think of me,
I will never have gone.

Autumn Rain

Do not stand by my grave and weep.
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints upon the snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain and
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning’s hush,
I am that swift uplifting rush,
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft star that shines at night.
Do not stand by my grave and cry,
I am not there, I did not die.

Keep 'em coming!

Our was simply:

'In Loving Memory...'

...with nothing else after it. My father's name was the only one on the page and being that his passing was so soon before the wedding, we wanted to keep it simple as to not mix a happy occasion with a sad one. That is what he would have wanted.

thank you for posting these...they're all beautiful and have me tearing up while I'm sitting here at work!!

'autumn rain' is the verse we picked for the memoriam cards at my father's funeral....I might use it again in our programs...but I don't want to have everyone crying!!

In the mean time, until i get home, I have one that was right here on my desk and I almost forgot all about it. It's pretty simple (short and sweet) but really nice...

Love, Remember, Forever

Remember loved ones never leave
They are forever near
For their love lives on in memories
Our hearts hold dear

OK here you go... like I promised!!! They did the cutest thing: they had a little angel pin inside the program and it went with this 'passage'...

'Someone Is Missing'

Let this Angel be a loving reminder
that someone is missing today,
Someone our hearts still hold on to,
As we travel along life's way.
Someone who made life so special,
for all those who gather here,
Someone who won't be forgotten,
But cherished from year to year.
And now as we pause to remember,
Let us all fondly recall,
how dearly each of us loved him,
and oh... how he loved us all!

And then it said Please wear this pin in loving memory of... and the person's name. This was specifically for a man so I'm sure you could tweak it for a girl-- but either way, it's really nice for a specific person. It made me cry

I LOVE IT!!
I'll just change 'him' to 'them'

You are the BEST!

I think all of those sayings are beautiful. I think for my dad we're going to have something like this:

The Bride's bouquet is dedicated in loving memory of ......

Something to that effect.

Do you think it's all right if I reword the 1st part a little bit to say something like:

'let us remember those who are missing today?'

We used this for a church wedding:

Today we remember and honor our loved ones who have passed,
Whose presence is greatly missed today.
As the light of Christ shines in our hearts,
a candle burns in their memory.

(and then listed names)

absolutely-- if you tweak it a bit then it'll be perfect-- i liked the idea of changing him to they a lot-- and then everyone at the wedding wears the angel pins all night-- it's extremely touching!

This is what we had in our programs:

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 touched our hearts.
