A few words for a funeral?
Dear Nan,



I never got to see you much, but really wish I had.



Will miss you a lot. I hope to see you again.



Love,
Reply:Very nice, I like what you wrote. Report It
Reply:Although our meetings may not have been frequent, it didn't meant that you were infrequent in my thoughts.

And even now that you've moved on, you will remain there.

Rest In Peace.
Reply:Just put that you loved her and are sorry you didn't see her as often as you would have liked
Reply:R I P NAN YOU WERE ONE IN A MILLION sorry once again for your loss sweetheart xx
Reply:i will always be thinking of you
Reply:Considering that the dead are conscious of nothing at all according to the God of the Bible, what Mel suggests is just perfect! Whenever it is that she is resurrected back on the earth, with a heart like yours, I strongly suspect that you will be the one to welcome her back on the paradise made ready for our dead loved ones... to come back (as Jesus rose his friend Lazarus after he was dead for four days, he will resurrect both the righteous and the unrighteous, after Armageddon, earth wide) and you will have an eternity to tell her that you love her and these past painful years will be nothing more than a drop in an ocean of your hearts' desires as you go on living the real life humans were meant to live in the first place! 6,000 years ago to us but only 6 days ago to God... Take care and rejoice in the truth that sets one free. All in the good book, the only book that claims divine inspiration and that none other can begin to compare with... God reads the hearts and wants to be worshipped in spirit and truth... John 4: 24; 6:44 and 8:44 Acts 24:15; Revelation 21:3-4.
Reply:Why not write more or less what you have just said? That you wanted to see her, that you thought of her often but circumstances beyond your control did not allow you to see her as you would have liked to.

Please don't feel guilt. It has happened and there is nothing you can do to change this. I am sure your nan knew how difficult it was for you. Guilt is devastating so put that aside.

Your nan knew you loved her.
Reply:exactly what you said in your question.



or



'i love you'
Reply:Try this: Today my thoughts are with those left behind because it is all of us who feel this loss. Not only will she be missed, but we all will regret our own missed opportunities to tell her we loved her. My prayers go with her and she shall live in my heart always. May God bless her memory.

Or: It is for those left behind to grieve. Those who have left are missed, not only for their absence but for the missed opportunities where we failed to say those simple words of love. Now is the time for sending love to the memory and comfort to those of us who remember.

Or: Words of love can fill the emptiness and memories can provide comfort in times of stress. I will cherish the memories and regret the loss but love is for always and that is what stays in my heart.

Good luck.
Reply:Sweetheart, It will say everything just for you to take the flowers,just say to you nan love from-------- I am sure she knows.
Reply:How sad for you. Family's can be really hard and heartbreaking sometimes. What about something like:

"Nan, I can't wait to see you again one day, when I can make up for all that wasted time. Until that day, sleep peacefully."
Reply: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, that we still are

Call me by my old familiar name

Speak to me in the easy way which you always used

Put no differences in your tone

Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorow

Laugh as you always laughed at the litle jokes we enjoyed together

Play, smile, think of me,pray for me

Let my name be ever the household name it always was

Let it be spoken without effect,without a trace of shadow upon it

Life means all it ever meant

It is the same as it ever was

There is absolutely unbroken continuity

Why should i be out of mind because i am out of sight?

I am but waiting for you for an interval

Someone very near, just around the corner

All is well
