“There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than 10,000 tongues. They are the messengers of overwhelming grief, of deep contrition, and of unspeakable love”

“There is peace and rest and comfort in sorrow”

“That is the road we all have to take - over the Bridge of Sighs into eternity”

“We must accept finite disappointment, but we must never lose infinite hope”

“Like a bird singing in the rain, let grateful memories survive in time of sorrow”

“Death is not a journey into an unknown land; it is a voyage home. We are going, not to a strange country, but to our fathers house.”
