Maple Center Memorials
Death is nothing at
all.
I have only slipped away into the next room.
I am I, and you are you.
Whatever we were to each other, that we are still.
Call me by my old familiar name;
speak to me in the easy way you always used.
Put no difference into your tone-wear no forced air of
sorrow.
Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes we
enjoyed together.
Play, smile, think of me, and pray for me.
Let my name be the household word it always was.
Let it be spoken without effect, without the ghost of a
shadow on it.
Life means all that it ever meant.
It is the same that it ever was,
there is absolutely no unbroken continuity.
Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
I am waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very
near, just around the corner…
All is well.
--Henry Scott Holland
Families of these individuals have chosen to ask
that memorial donations be given to The Maple Center
in memory and honor of their loved ones.
The Maple Center is
deeply appreciative of these
gifts. Through
these memorial donations, the memory of loved ones
will carry on
through the many health-related services and programs
sponsored by The
Maple Center.
