Product Information

This funeral poem for grandad reassures us he will always be with us in spirit, although we are filled with sadness. The comforting words by poet Ellen Brenneman encourage us to think of the love we shared, and remind us that loved ones never truly leave us, but will live forever in our hearts. That last line is my favourite because I could just picture the hilarious scene where an elderly grandpa walks up to a nun in church and asks her out for dinner. A scene like that would be ideal in a famous or new movie. But maybe it happens in real life as well, sometimes.

With words that remind us of the care she took of her family, this is a wonderful funeral poem for a nana.
