This is another really good one, I think.

There is no surprise more magical than the surprise of being loved.  It is God's finger on man's shoulder.

There's no fool like an old fool

The most extreme fools are people whose age should have made them wise.

Of Every Tear Some Good Is Born

"When death strikes down the innocent and young, from every fragile form from which he lets the panting spirit free, a hundred virtues rise, in shapes of mercy, charity and love, to walk the world and bless it.  Of every tear that sorrowing mortals shed on such green graves, some good is born, some gentler nature comes.  In the Destroyer's steps there spring up bright creations that defy his power, and his dark path becomes a way of light to heaven."

In loving memory of my son Tim (6/12/76 - 1/7/93) and for all who left too soon.

Oh Ruth, I'm so moved.

Thoughts for you and Tim.
