"Remember her with a smile today, she was not one for tears. Reflect instead on memories of all the happy years. Recall to mind the way she spoke of all the things she said. Her strength, her stance, the way she walked, remember these instead. The good advice she'd give us, her eyes that shone with laughter. So much of her will never die, but live on ever after."
