What Do You Say?

My grandfather passed away Thursday; today is his funeral. I wanted to make a card for Eunice, my step-grandma. She and Grandpa married after both lost their first spouses. What do you say to a person who must bury a second husband?

I don't know if any of these could convey what they are meant to express, but for lack of better words, here are some sympathy quotes I like best.


Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal. ~From a headstone in Ireland

While we are mourning the loss of our friend, others are rejoicing to meet him behind the veil. ~John Taylor

Life is eternal, and love is immortal,and death is only a horizon;and a horizon is nothing save the limit of our sight. ~Rossiter Worthington Raymond

For death is no more than a turning of us over from time to eternity. ~William Penn

When he shall die
Take him and cut him out in little stars
And he will make the face of heav'n so fine
That all the world will be in love with night
And pay no worship to the garish sun.
~William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet

If the future seems overwhelming, remember that it comes one moment at a time. ~Beth Mende Conny

You don't get over it, you just get through it. Your don't get by it, because you can't get around it. It doesn't 'get better'; it just gets different. Everyday... Grief puts on a new face.... ~Wendy Feireisen

know for certain that we never lose the people we love, even to death. They continue to participate in every act, thought and decision we make. Their love leaves an indelible imprint in our memories. We find comfort in knowing that our lives have been enriched by having shared their love. ~Leo Buscaglia

They say love beyond the world cannot be separated by it. Death cannot kill what never dies. ~William Penn

Thanksgiving Quotes

Happy Thanksgiving! To celebrate today I'm posting some of my favorite scrapbook quotes about this holiday. They are great for your scrapbook pages or for a smile :).

Hem your blessings with thankfulness so they don't unravel.

"God has two dwellings; one in heaven, and the other in a meek and thankful heart." Izaak Walton

"Not what we say about our blessings, but how we use them, is the true measure of our thanksgiving. " W.T. Purkiser

Gobble 'til you wobble.

"No one has ever become poor by giving." Anne Frank

Count your blessings instead of your crosses;
Count your gains instead of your losses.
Count your joys instead of your woes;
Count your friends instead of your foes.
Count your smiles instead of your tears;
Count your courage instead of your fears.
Count your full years instead of your lean;
Count your kind deeds instead of your mean.
Count your health instead of your wealth;
Count on God instead of yourself.
