“There are stars up above, so far away we only see their light long, long after the star itself is gone. And so it is with people that we loved - their memories keep shining ever brightly though their time with us is done. But the stars that light up the darkest night, these are the lights that guide us. As we live our days, these are the ways we remember.”
