Sorry pocon. It's been hard reading your thoughts. Takes me back a few weeks. Thought I'd share something we used for my Mother's service:
<i>God saw you getting tired,
When a cure was not to be,
So He closed His arms around you,
And He whispered "Come to Me".
You do not deserve what you went through,
And so He gave you rest,
God's garden must be beautiful,
For He only takes from the best.
In time we saw you sinking,
We watched you fade away,
Our hearts were almost broken,
You fought so hard to stay.
But when we saw you sleeping,
So peacefully from pain,
We could not wish you back,
To suffer that again.
You had spoken before you died,
These are the words you had replied,
"Weep not for me, but courage take,
And love one another for my sake.</i>
We couldn't find the author.
Crap, here I go again.
Stay together. Stay strong.

If they can be brought to raise questions and apply their decent instincts and basic intelligence, many people quickly escape the confines of the doctrinal system and are willing to do something to help others who are really suffering and oppressed." -Manufacturing Consent: Noam Chomsky and the Media, p. 195
