1. LOVING MEMORIES - $40

Your gentle face and patient smile
With sadness we recall
You had a kindly word for each
And died beloved by all.
The voice is mute and stilled the heart
That loved us well and true,
Ah, bitter was the trial to part
From one so good as you.
You are not forgotten loved one
Nor will you ever be,
As long as life and memory last
We will remember thee.
We miss you now, our hearts are sore
As time goes by we miss you more,
Your loving smile, your gentle face,
No one can fill your vacant place.

2. BEYOND THE SUNSET - $40

Should you go first and I remain
to walk the road alone.
I'll live in memory's garden, dear,
With happy days we've known.
In spring I'll wait for roses red, when
faded the lilacs blue.
In early fall when brown leaves fall
I'll catch a glimpse of you.
Should you go first and I remain, for
battles to be fought,
Each thing you've touched along the
way will be a hallowed spot.
I'll hear your voice, I'll see your
smile, tho blindly I may grope
The memory of your helping hand
will buoy me on with hope.
Should you go first and I remain,
one thing I'll have you do.
Walk slowly down that long long
path for soon I'll follow you.
I want to know each step you take,
so I may take the same,
For someday down that lonely road,
You'll hear me call your name.

3. JUST SLEEPING - $30

Now the labour's task is over;
Now the battle day is past;
Now upon the farther shore
Lands the voyage at last.
There the tears of earth are dried;
There its hidden things are clear;
There the work of life is tried
By a greater judge than here.
"Earth to earth and dust to dust,"
Calmly now the words we say;
Left behind, we wait in trust
For the resurrection day.
Father,
In Thy gracious keeping,
Leave we now.
Thy servant sleeping.

4. O Gentlest heart of Jesus - $40

O Gentlest heart of Jesus, ever present in the blessed sacrament, ever consumed with burning love for the poor captive souls in Purgatory, have mercy on the soul of Thy departed servant. Be not severe in Thy judgment but let some drops of Thy precious blood fall upon the devouring flames, and do Thou O merciful Saviour send Thy departed servant to a place of refreshment, light and peace.
 Amen.
May the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.

5. BE STRONG - $50

Be strong in love, O heart of mine!
Live not for self alone,
But find, in blessing other lives
Completeness for thine own.
Seek every hungering heart to feed,
each saddened heart to cheer;
And when stern justice stands aloof,
In pity thou draw near.
Kind, loving words and helping hands
Have won more souls for heaven
Than all the dogmas and the creeds
by priests and sages given.
Be strong to hope, o heart of mine!
Look not on life's dark side;
For just beyond these gloomy hours
Rich, radiant days abide.
Let's hope, like summer's rainbow bright
Scatter thy falling tears;
And let God's special promises
Dispel all anxious fears.
To every grief a Lethe comes,
For every toil a rest;
So hope, so love, so patient bear—
God doeth all thing best.

6. SAFELY HOME - $50

I am home in heaven, dear ones;
Oh, so happy and so bright!
There is perfect joy and beauty
In this everlasting light.
All the pain and grief is over,
Every restless tossing passed;
I am now at peace forever,
Safely home in Heaven at last.
Did you ever wonder why I so calmly
Trod the valley of the shade?
Oh! But Jesus' love illumined
Every dark and fearful glade.
And He came Himself to meet me
In that way so hard to tread;
And with Jesus' arm to lean on,
Could I have one doubt or dread?
Then you must not grieve so sorely,
For I love you dearly still;
Try to look beyond earth's shadows
Pray to trust our Father's Will.
There is work still waiting for you,
So you must not idly stand;
Do it now, while life remaineth—
You shall rest in Jesus' land.
When that work is all completed,
He will gently call you home;
Oh, the rapture of that meeting,
Oh, the joy to see you come!

7. LITTLE ANGELS - $50

When God calls little children
to dwell with Him above,
We mortals sometimes question
the wisdom of his love.
For no heartache compares with
the death of one small child
Who do so much to make our world
seem wonderful and mild.
Perhaps God tires of calling
the aged to his fold,
So He picks a rosebud
before it can grow old.
God knows how much we need them,
and so He takes but few
to make the land of Heaven
more beautiful to view.
Believing this is difficult
still somehow we must try,
the saddest word mankind knows
will always be "Goodbye."
So when a little child departs,
we who are left behind
Must realize God loves children,
Angels are hard to find.

8. CROSSING THE BAR - $40

Sunset and evening star,
And one clear call for me!
And may there be no moaning of the bar
When  put out to sea.
But such a tide as moving seem asleep,
Too full for sound or foam,
When that which drew from out the
boundless deep,
Turns again home.
Twilight and evening  bell
And after that the dark!
And may there be no sadness of farewell
When I embark
For though from out our borne of time
and place
The flood may bear me far,
I hope to see my Pilot face to face
When I have crossed the bar.
        Alfred Tennyson

9. HE (SHE) IS JUST AWAY  - $40

You cannot say, you must not say
That he is dead. He is just away!
With a cheery smile
and a wave of the hand
He has wandered into an unknown land
And left us dreaming how very fair
It needs must be,
 Since he lingers there;
So think of him faring on, as dear
In the love of There as the love of Here.
Think of him still
as the same, and say
He is not dead, he is just away.
