The Memory of Our Departed Loved Ones

"When we love, we remember; and this memory, the effect of love, is not a barren thought. It
resolves itself into DEEDS for the loved one. Why, when sorrow is united with faith, should not our
sad memories resolve themselves into sentiments sweet and precious to the soul? To recall the
features, the accents, the manners and the sentiments of a loved one is still to see him, to hear
him to touch him and to associate him with the joys and sorrows which he formerly
shared."-Gergeres
