Loving you always, Forgetting you never. Sandra Memoriam In Memoriam Verse Samples Sample 11 Many a day her name is spoken, And many an hour she is in our thoughts, A link in our family chain is broken, She has gone from our home but not from our hearts. Sample 12 Three little words, "Forget me not" Don't seem much, but mean a lot. Just a memory fond and true To show, dear mother, we think of you. Sample 13 A loving mother, so gentle and kind, What a wonderful memory she left behind. Long days, long nights, she bore her pain. To wait for cure, but all in vain. Till God Himself knew what was best He took her home and gave her rest. Sample 14 God saw the road was getting rough And the hills were hard to climb, So He closed your weary eyelids And whispered "Peace be thine." These verses can be used when placing an In Memoriam notice by simply quoting the verse number to our representatives.
