I recently made a quilt for an aunt, who has livd on the beach most of her life. I Googled a phrase and it came up with the perfect line regarding "life on the Beach" It brought tears to her eyes when she read it

Oooho, those are good ones for labels. One of those should do it, then if you need it just for a label.

Sorry for your loss: here is a short quote for you:
"To live on in the hearts of those we love is not to die."
(From a tombstone of a distant relative who died around 1915)

My personal favorite....

"A loved One is not gone, until they are forgotten;
And to Live in the Hearts of those left behind is to Live Forever!"

What We Keep In Memory Is Ours Unchanged Forever

Treasured Memories Keep You Near

Loving Memories Last Forever

At The Going Down Of The Sun, And In The Morning We Will

Memory Is Life's Sweetest Gift

To Live In Hearts We Leave Behind Is Not To Die

Never Will Your Memory Fade

But The Memories Last Forever

This Song Is Ended, But The Melody Lingers On

Too Well Loved To Ever Be Forgotten

Fond Memories Linger Every Day, Remembrance Keeps them(or him/her) Near

HAD to add this one: from a Carolina Quilter added to a quilt label she put on a quilt given as a gift:

"May all of your lifes ups and downs happen underneath this quilt"
While somewhat bawdy, it was met with appreciation!" ;-)
