His Journey’s Just Begun
by Ellen Brenneman
Don’t think of him as gone away
his Journey’s just begun.
Life holds so many facets
this earth is only one.
Just think of him as resting
from the sorrows and the tears.
In a place of Warmth and comfort
where there are no days or years.
Think how he must be wishing
that we could know today.
How nothing but our sadness
can really pass away.
And think of him as living
in the hearts of those he touched…
For nothing loved is ever lost
and he was loved so much.
With a gentle hand, the urn will be placed into the earth, a final resting place for a life well-lived. This grave plot offers a sense of permanence, a quiet space to remember the laughter and love shared. It’s a return to the earth, a peaceful conclusion to a remarkable journey.
There will be no public services. Grave plot located in Pine Grove Cemetery, Lynn.
