Death is nothing at all (full verse on front of card)
 
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, we still are.
 
Call me by my old familiar name, speak to me
in the easy way you always used.
 
Put no difference in your tone,
wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow.
 
Laugh as we always laughed
at the little jokes we enjoyed together.
 
Let my name be ever the household word
that it always was. Let it be
spoken without effort,
without the trace of
a shadow in it.
 
Life means all
that it ever meant.
It is the same as it ever was,
there is 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.
 
Inside verse:
God bless you
