I'm sorry for your loss.
Steal away! I totally appreciate the ideas that people are sharing.

I don’t mind at all if you use my poem.

here is one of my labels - - I don't even remember where I got the poem. Somewhere on the internet no doubt!!

The poem from Little House on the Prairie was actually written by Michael Landon for Patricia Neal. It was read again at Mr. Landon's funeral by Melissa Gilbert. Here it is:
Remember Me
Remember me with smiles and laughter, For that's the way I'll remember you all.
If you can only remember me with tears, Then don't remember me at all. ~ Michael Landon.
