IN LOVING MEMORY OF

Bernice C. Surette

  December 6, 1934 -

August 8, 2008

Fill not your hearts with pain and sorrow,

but remember me in every tomorrow.

Remember the joy, the laughter, the smiles.

I’ve only gone to rest for a while.

Although my leaving causes pain and grief,

my going has eased my hurt and given

me relief. So dry your eyes and remember

 me, not as I am but as I used to be.

Because, I will remember you all and look

on with a smile. Understand in your hearts,

 I’ve only gone to rest a while. As long as

I have the love of you, I can live my life

in the hearts of all of you.
