Four Candles
The first candle represents our grief
The pain of losing you is intense.
It reminds us of the depth of our love for you.
This second candle represents our courage
To confront our sorrow
To comfort each other
To change our lives.
This third candle we light in your memory.
For the times we laughed
The times we cried
The times we were angry with each other
The silly things you did
The caring and joy you gave us
This fourth candle we light for our love
We light this candle that your light will always shine
As we enter this holiday season and share this night of remembrance
with our family and friends
We cherish the special place in our hearts that will always be reserved for you.
We thank you for the gift your living brought to each of us
We love you.
We remember you.
