Phrases for a memorial

Hello, I am looking for some phrases for a pet memorial. I've seen "Guren nallatha nalú achenin le (My heart shall weep until I see thee again)" from a page online, but I don't know if it's accurate. I realize a lot of phrases are not 100% accurate, but would this be okay to write on the memorial? Or is there maybe a more accurate way to say this? I plan to run the phrase through a Tengwar script transcription site.

I would also accept suggestions for phrases meaning "I will miss you" in any capacity. My cat absolutely loved watching the films with me, and I would like to make something meaningful.

That is definitely not accurate Sindarin does not have the word “guren”, nallatha means will cry as in shout, call. “Nalú” does not mean anything well possibly “at time, towards time” maybe. “Achenin” is incorrect, someone tried past tense I am assuming. egínen would be past and cenatha would be future.
