![]() Indeed, the wisdom that you imparted unto me shall ever remain with me. What I achieved is because of your influence, and what I am, I have become through you. I am grateful for your every blessing, your kindly deeds, your understanding heart, your sacrificial devotion and your warm love so freely given. I feel the closeness of your spirit, mother dear, and my heart is filled with tender emotion as I recollect the many sacrifices you made to ennoble my heart and instruct my mind. Though we are separated, dear mother, at this solemn moment when I stand before your grave, I call to mind the love and solicitude with which you tended and watched over my childhood, ever mindful of my welfare, and ever anxious for my happiness. O Israel, hope in the Lord from this time forth and for ever. Surely I have stilled and quieted my soul like a weaned child with its mother, my soul is with me like a weaned child. Lord, my heart is not haughty, nor mine eyes lofty neither do I exercise myself in things too great, or in things too wonderful for me. May my endeavors to practice what is good atone for my errors, and be accepted in order to assume the salvation of my soul.įather of all, grant that the soul of my beloved husband be bound up in the bond of eternal life, together with the souls of all the righteous that are in Thy keeping. I pray, O Lord, that the precious memories of our happy years together, may ever be an incentive to noble and sanctified living. ![]() Heavenly Father, extend thy omnipotent protection, and inspire them with a love of duty and fidelity to our faith, and veneration for their father's memory. O God, protect my bereaved children, deprived of their earthly father's care. May God support me in this heavy trial, may He in mercy pardon the words of bitterness which have escaped from my widowed heart. All is cold and sorrow, and I come to pour out my grief at thy grave. My existence is now a void, joy and happiness have fled with thee, and I must bear the burden of life alone, for thy hand can no longer protect me, nor my heart repose on thine. Thou sleep beneath this tomb, dear husband, and while thou cannot hear me, neither can thou see my tears. Widowed and bereft I mourn the loss of the dear companion of my heart. O God, behold and see the sorrow of my heart. May God grant that my father's memory ever inspire me, and may his soul be bound up in the bond of eternal life, together with the souls of all the righteous that are in Thy keeping. Though you are gone from my physical presence, the bond of love which unites us can never be severed. I can pay you the tribute which you so richly deserve, by cherishing the ideals and principles you have taught me, by continuing the noble work you have left unfinished, by loyally upholding the heritage of Israel which you have transmitted unto me, and by serving my people and all who need me. The passing of time will never diminish the blessed memories of your life. You rejoiced in my achievements, you guided me in my perplexities, and strengthened me in my trials and disappointments. ![]() I recall all the sacrifices you made for my welfare, and the many comforts with which you provided me. The memory of your life, dear father, rises before me this solemn moment as I stand before your grave and recall all the years of unselfish devotion, kindness, love and encouragement which you have shown me during your life. ![]() He that doeth these things shall never be moved. Lord, who shall sojourn in Thy tabernacle? Who shall dwell upon Thy holy mountain? He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh truth in his heart That hath no slander upon his tongue, nor doeth evil to his fellow nor taketh on a reproach against his neighbor. I pray that the soul of my dearly beloved child be bound up in the bond of eternal life, together with the souls of all the righteous that are in Thy keeping. Though my heart still grieves, may I, who have known the joys of parenthood, bring love and cheer into the lives of others. O merciful God, Giver of life, Thou hast recalled what is Thine own, and hast taken him (her) into Thy loving care and keeping. Though he (she) is no longer in our midst, his (her) memory shall forever be enshrined in my heart. The passage of years will never fill the void in my heart, nor can time soften the pain of bereavement. ![]() Though few and brief were the years wherein I rejoiced with my beloved child, many indeed were the blessings he (she) brought into our home. How I delighted in his (her) physical and mental growth. Almighty Father, as I stand at the grave of my beloved child, I tenderly recall the joys that he (she) gave me during his (her) lifetime. ![]()
