"May Time Soften Your Pain - Anon
In times of darkness, love sees?
In times of silence, love hears...
In times of doubt, love hopes?
In times of sorrow, love heals...
And in all times, love remembers.
May time soften the pain
Until all that remains
Is the warmth of the memories
And the love. "
In loving memory of
