In loving Memory of Ethel "Mango" Smith

Do believe I'll never leave you
Always I'll be in your heart.
Don't forget my soul is near you,
And so we'll never be apart






"The day which we fear as our last is but the birthday of eternity". ~Seneca

"He is not a God of the dead, but of the living: for to him all are alive." - Luke 20:38

Love is stronger then death even though it can't stop death from happening,
but no matter how hard death tries it can't separate people from love.

It can't take away our memories either.
In the end, life is stronger than death.
