She Is Not Gone

Ease your grief, she is not gone,

For in your heart she lingers on.

Her smile, her laugh, her special way,

Will comfort you from day to day.

You'll feel her presence in the breeze,

That dances gently, through the trees

And it's her face that you will see,

When you're in need of company.

At any time, you can recall,

The love you shared, you saved it all.

And in time, more than anything,

You'll find peace in remembering...

Forever In Our Hearts

Eternal rest grant unto her, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon her. May Dorothy's soul and all the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.
