Poem for funeral (auntie)

[sparklingdirtyglasses]

As the title says. We wasn't close at all. But I loved her dearly & wish we had spent more time together, she was only 57 when she suffered a massive heart attack after a massive life change with her lovely husband. I want to say something at her funeral. But I have no words. Does anyone have any good links etc or words for me. I feel numb. I don't know what to say. I'd rather say something than sit and say nothing

I cannot think but just wanted to say I am sorry for your Loss OP

Sorry for your loss. The Dash poem by Linda Ellis was read at my MIL funeral.

I used this for my dad’s funeral recently. I liked that it was kind of positive.

We had this poem at my brother’s funeral after he died suddenly at 47, although I took out the last line. I liked it because it made me feel that there were loved ones waiting for him on the other side - in his case my late parents.

Thankyou all for your well wishes and links. I shall have a look now. The words I used sounded a little wrong. They had just moved into their dream house and she died the night they lived in

I came across this one a while ago...

What a shock & so young. I'm so sorry & sent my live to you. It's a beautiful poem. Xx

Not sure if this is exactly what you’re looking for. It’s lovely anyway
