​TOP SECTION #A1

At the rising of the sun and at its going down... we will remember you. At the flowing of the wind and in the chill of winter... we will remember you. At the opening of the buds and in the rebirth of spring... we will remember you. At the blueness of the skies and in the warmth of summer... we will remember you. At the rustling of the leaves and in the beauty of autumn... we will remember you. At the beginning of the year and when it ends... we will remember you. When we are weary and in need of strength... we will remember you. For you are now a part of us as we remember you.​

​TOP SECTION #A2

God looked around His garden and He found an empty place. He then looked down upon you and saw your loving face. He put His arms around you and lifted you to rest. His Garden must be beautiful, he always takes the best. As the days come and go and the world moves on, I know you’re still here, you’ll never be gone. On the night the Angel  came and took your hand, We cried as you left  for a blessed land. But heaven rejoiced as you came into sight. For your soul was a diamond, shining so bright.

TOP SECTION #A3

“ Life is an opportunity, benefit from it. Life is beauty, admire it. Life is a dream, realize it. Life is a challenge, meet it. Life is a duty, complete it. Life is a game, play it. Life is a promise, fulfill it. Life is sorrow, overcome it. Life is a song, sing it. Life is a struggle, accept it. Life is a tragedy, confront it. Life is an adventure, dare it. Life is luck, make it. Life is too precious, do not destroy it. Life is life, fight for it.”

— Mother Teresa
