Palliative Poetry:  This poem by an anonymous author is short enough to find its way onto many headstones.
   Those we love remain with us
   For love itself lives on.
   And cherished memories never fade
   Because a loved one's gone....
   Those we love can never be
   More than a thought apart.
   For as long as there is memory,
   They'll live on in the heart.
