A Tribute

As we light these four candles in honor of you.
We light one for our grief,
One for our courage,
One for our memories,
And one for our love. 
This candle represents our grief.
The pain of losing you is intense.
It reminds us of the death of our love for you.

This candle represents our courage-to confront our sorrow
- to comfort each other
- to change our lives.
This light is in your memory
- the times we laughed
- the times we cried
- the times we were angry at each other
- the silly things you did
- the caring and joy you gave us period.
This light is the light of love.
Day by day, we cherish the special place in our heart that will always be reserved for you.
We thank you for the gift that your living brought to each of us.
We love you now and forever.
