Life does not cease to be funny when people die any more than it ceases to be serious
when people laugh. ---George Bernard Shaw |
Why is it that we rejoice at a birth and grieve at a funeral? It is because we are
not the person involved. Mark Twain, author and humorist(1835-1910) |
We are all born originals - why is it so many of us die copies? ---EdwardYoung, poet (1683-1765) |
Souls do not disintegrate and die: Years pass and yet they do not fade away. Memories are like a distant star Pouring forth its light across the void. All our tears and laughter do not lie: Though we pass like dreams, our spirits stay, Held fast by love, which is just what we are, Yet in a form that cannot be destroyed. |
"Die when I may, I want it said of me that I plucked a weed and planted a flower
where ever I thought a flower would grow."---Abraham Lincoln |
Hand County, SD Family Research Center |
It is hard to understand how a cemetery raised its burial cost and blamed it on the
cost of living. |
The only thing you take with you when you're gone is what you leave behind. ---John Allston |
