    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!" ;-)
