Ceremony Programs - longer memorial wording

[adias.angel]

Hi Ladies,

I did a search and found a couple older threads on this but nothing recent. I was wondering if anyone had a longer saying that I can use for our program. I am making a program fan and would like to dedicate an entire leaf to the memorial.

 

I found this that someone posted but I would like more of a saying or poem.

Quote:

In memory of our loved ones that are no longer with us in body but will be forever with us in spirit

Any help at all I would appreciate. Thanks, Carla

My grandpa passed recently...I am adding this to the end of my program. He got to meet my fiance in December when he came home with me for Christmas, hence the reference to that.

 

I am also doing a section called Special Guests Who Could Not Attend to list my fiance's grandparents who can't make the long flight and are elderly.

I know you are smiling down on us today Granddaddy. We are so glad that you got to meet XXXXX before your homecoming. You and grandma shared 57 wonderful years together and we hope to be blessed with as many years of love and dedication that you had for one another.

This is what I am planning on....

I will have a pic of my dad with a candle hopefully somewhere close to the table where we will be signing the license!


For those we have loved and lost along the way
A flame to remember them burns here today
For the laughter, smiles, and memories remain
Together today their presence sustains
Never forgotten and loved forever more
Today their blessings flicker and soar

In loving memory of
