“Angels of highest light and love,
Angels that radiate beams of pure energy from the heavens above.

Please join us and be with us on this very night,
As the soul of our beloved joins you in flight.

We pray that you send this soul embraced in your lovely wings,
During his journey may he hear harps, and trumpets and strings.”
― Molly Friedenfeld, The Book of Simple Human Truths

“Tis a Fearful Thing

‘Tis a fearful thing
to love what death can touch.

A fearful thing
to love, to hope, to dream, to be –

to be,
And oh, to lose.

A thing for fools, this,

And a holy thing,

a holy thing
to love.

For your life has lived in me,
your laugh once lifted me,
your word was gift to me.

To remember this brings painful joy.

‘Tis a human thing, love,
a holy thing, to love
what death has touched.”
― Judah Halevi
