J OHN 11:25-26 Jesus told her, I am the resurrection and the life. Anyone who believes in me will live, even after dying. Everyone who lives in me and believes in me will never ever die.

Immortality Clare Harner Do not stand by my grave and weep, I am not there, I do not sleep. I am the thousand winds that blow I am the diamond glints in snow, I am the sunlight on ripened grain, I am the gentle autumn rain.

As you awake with morning’s hush, I am the swift, up-flinging rush of quiet birds in circling flight I am the day transcending night.

Do not stand by my grave and cry I am not there I did not die.

M ATTHEW 11:28-30 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”

Acknowledgement Perhaps you sent a lovely card or sat quietly in a chair. Perhaps you sent a floral piece, if so, we saw it there. Perhaps you prayed a sincere prayer or came to pay a call. Perhaps you sang a cheerful song, if so, we heard it all. Perhaps you spoke the kindest words, as any friend could say. Perhaps you prepared a tasty dish, or maybe furnished a car. Perhaps you rendered a service unseen, near at hand or from afar. Whatever you did to console our hearts, by word or deed or touch. Whatever was the kindly part, we thank you, oh so very much.
