In Loving Memory Of

THEY SAY by Ron Tranner

They say I'm sorry for your loss.

They say your heart will mend.

They say you're in a better place

and death is not the end.

They say you're reunited

with loved ones gone before.

They say that you'll be waiting

when We walk through heaven's door.

We feel their love in every word

of comfort they impart

and know that each is spoken

from deep within the heart.

But all the words of comfort,

though kind, sincere, and true,

can't take away the emptiness

We’re feeling without you.

Forever in Our Hearts
