Text on back:
"Death is nothing 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 familiar name, speak to me
in the easy way which you always used.
Put no difference into your tone;
wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow.
Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes we enjoyed together.
Play, smile, think of me, pray for me.
Let my name be ever the household
word that it always was.
Let it be spoken without effort,
without the ghost of a shadow on it.
Life means all that it ever meant.
It is the same as it ever was; there is
absolutely unbroken continuity.
What is death but a negligible accident?
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."
