comfort from the immortal words of the great poet Khalil Gibran:
"If you would indeed behold the spirit of death, open your heart wide unto the body of
life.
For life and death are one, even as the river and the sea are one¡
For what is it to die but to stand naked in the wind and to melt into the sun?
And what is it to cease breathing, but to free the breath from its restless tides, that it may
rise and expand and seek God unencumbered?¡
And when the earth shall claim your limbs, then shall you truly dance."
Therefore, be it further resolved that we bow to a greater Will than our own and
rest in the knowledge that one day we will be united with (Name of deceased)
again, in joy and in the fullness of God's mercy.
