"love is in the heart.....silent... unwritten....unbreakable by distance..unchangeable by time...." We in Australia say "They shall not grow old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them." May they all rest in glory and peace.

Words cannot express the sadness of your loss but in time, like the flower that blooms after the storm, your hearts will heal from their sorrow to face the days knowing your loss was not in vain and that their memory will remain now and through the years and into the future.
