A gift beyond compare,
You only know the meaning,
When she is no longer there.

Along the road of suffering,
You found a little lane,
That took you straight to heaven,
And ended all your pain.

Your face is always before me – Verse 035

Your face is always before me,
Your voice I will never forget,
Your smile will linger forever,
In my memories I see you yet.
 
Your voice keeps whispering gently,
“Dear one be brave and true,
At the end of life there’s sunshine,
I’ll be watching and waiting for you”.

You cared for us – Verse 036

There is always a face before us – Verse 039

There is always a face before us,
A voice we would love to hear,
A smile we will always remember,
Of a daughter we loved so dear.

Engraved within our hearts.

He was my North – Verse 040

He was my North, my South, my East and West,
My working week and my Sunday rest,
My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song;
I thought that love would last forever: I was wrong
 
We miss your smile, your joking ways,
We miss the things you used to say.
And when old times we do recall,
It’s then we miss you most of all.

Just a prayer from the Family who loved you – Verse 001

Just a prayer from the Family who loved you,
Just a memory fond and true,
In our hearts you will stay forever,
Because we thought the world of you.

It was a sudden parting,
Too bitter to forget,
Those who loved you dearly,
Are the ones who can’t forget.

We often sit and think of you,
And think of how you died,
To think you could not say goodbye,
Before you closed your eyes.

 The blow was hard, the shock severe,
To part with one we loved so dear,
Our loss is great, we’ll not complain,
But trust in God to meet again.

 At night the silent stars look down,
On a grave not far from here,
Where sleeps the one we love,
In God’s safe keeping may he rest,
And pray for us who can’t forget.

When last we saw your smiling face – Verse 002

When last we saw your smiling face,
You looked so bright and well,
Little did we know that day,
Was to be our last farewell.
 
The Golden Gates stood open,
God saw you needed rest,
His garden must be beautiful,
He only takes the best.
 
Two tired eyes are sleeping,
Two willing hands are still,
The one who worked so hard for us,
Is resting at God’s will.
 
Your life was one of kindly deeds,
A helping hand for other’s needs,
To a beautiful life came a happy end,
You died as you lived, everyone’s friend.

Good was your heart in friendship sound – Verse 003

Good was your heart in friendship sound,


Loved and respected by all around,


A beautiful life came to an end,


You died as you lived, everyone’s friend.

 



You left us oh so suddenly,


We could only weep and cry,


But the hardest part of all was,


We never said goodbye.

 



We cannot bring the old days back,


When we were all together,


But fond and loving thoughts of you,


Will be with us forever.

 



The happy hours we once enjoyed,


How sweet their memory still,


But death has left a vacant place,


This world can never fill.

 



Each time we look at your picture,


You seem to smile and say,


Don’t be sad but courage take,


And love each other for my sake.

 



We think of you in silence,


And often speak your name,


All we have are memories,


And your photo in a frame.

A bouquet of beautiful memories – Verse 004

A bouquet of beautiful memories,
Sprayed with a million tears,
Wishing God could have spared you,
For just a few more years.
 
It does not take a special day,
For us to think of you,
Each Mass we hear, each prayer we say,
Is offered up for you.
 
May he rest in peace, dear Jesus,
May his spirit now repose,
In Thy great protecting arms,
Far from earthly woes.
 
Along the road of yesterday,
That leads us straight to You,
Are memories of happy days,
Together we once knew.

We lost a mother with a heart of gold – Verse 005

We lost a mother with a heart of gold,
How much we miss her can never be told,
She shared our troubles and helped us along,
If we follow her footsteps we will never go wrong.
 
We miss you from your fireside chair,
Your loving smile and gentle air,
Your vacant place no one can fill,
We miss you mother and always will.
 
She was a mother so very rare,
Content at home and always there,
On earth she toiled, in heaven she rests,
God bless you mother, you were one of the best.
 
Each time we look at your picture,
You seem to smile and say,
Don’t be sad, but courage take,
And love each other for my sake.
 
O Sweet Jesus, for the sake of Thy Bitter Passion
And the sorrows of Thy Immaculate Mother,
Have mercy on her soul
and let the light of Thy Countenance shine upon her.

You can only have one mother – Verse 007

You can only have one mother,
Patient, kind and true,
No other friend in all the world,
Will be the same to you.
 
When other friends forsake you,
To mother you will return,
For all her loving kindness,
She asks nothing in return.
 
As we look upon her picture
Sweet memories we recall,
Of a face so full of sunshine
And a smile for one and all.
 
Sweet Jesus take this message,
To our dear mother up above,
Tell her how we miss her,
And give her all our love.
