He spake well who said that graves are the footprints of angels.

A human life is a story told by God.

To live in hearts we leave behind
Is not to die.

We must embrace pain and burn it as fuel for our journey.
Kenji Miyazawa

While we are mourning the loss of our friend, others are rejoicing to meet him behind the veil.
John Taylor

He who has gone, so we but cherish his memory, abides with us, more potent, nay, more present than the living man.

Oh heart, if one should say to you that the soul perishes like the body, answer that the flower withers, but the seed remains.
Kahlil Gibran

Tears are God�s gift to us. Our holy water. They heal us as they flow.

A grave is braced not just by a tombstone but by angels as well.
Adabella Radici

For death is no more than a turning of us over from time to eternity.
William Penn

And with the morn those angel faces smile
Which I have loved long since and lost awhile.

The angels are always near to those who are grieving, to whisper to them that their loved ones are safe in the hand of God.

Unable are the loved to die. For love is immortality.
Emily Dickinson

Perhaps they are not the stars, but rather openings in Heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down upon us to let us know they are happy.

Although it’s difficult today to see beyond the sorrow,
May looking back in memory help comfort you tomorrow.

Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal.

In the night of death, hope sees a star, and listening love can hear the rustle of a wing.
Robert Ingersoll

When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight.
Kahlil Gibran
