Serenely beautiful color photos on every two-page spread are complemented with words of condolence meant for those who have suffered the loss of a loved one. Many of these statements of sympathy and compassion have been taken from immortal poets and philosophers, including Longfellow, Yeats, Byron, Emerson, and Confucius. One typical heartfelt message states, "When it is dark enough, you can see the stars." The attractive photos present images from nature that capture a mood of peace and tranquility.
