In Memory Quotes: Remembering a Loved One

When someone we love dies, it’s only natural for us to want to remember them. We might want to hang on to every little detail about them, or maybe we just want to keep their memory alive in our hearts. One way to do this is by sharing quotes and extracts to honour a loved one. You might want to write a condolence card, set up a Collection Pot fund to help a grieving loved one receive messages, or leave a message on flowers. What phrases and words can be used?
