Today we gather to remember a fine gent,
Whose light shone brightly, but now life’s spent.
He was kind and honest; he was stubborn but true,
He believed in the best for himself and for you
He carried unlimited love in his heart
He considered everyone a friend from the start.
He made others feel better with quiet empathy
Whilst those with hardship, he offered sympathy.
His presence now missed, never to be forgotten,
Held close in our hearts and our thoughts unbroken.
Rest, dear friend, let your peaceful soul fly
Rest, dear friend, let your spirit soar high.
Stand close to loved ones in heaven's wide aisles
We’re grateful to have shared in laughter and smiles
There’s an opportunity in eternity to be together again
Remembered love will fill our hearts. Until then.
Regrettably, unable to stay any longer
Joyful memories remembered fonder
Accomplished as a life narrator
Charismatic and charming, were second nature
Kindness and generosity, a constant consumer
Loved ones cherished his warmth and his humour
Inspiring others through many words unpacked,
Never knowingly understated, a fascinating fact
My last fascinating fact,
The word eulogy is from classical Greek and can mean
‘Well Words’ or ‘True Text.’ Use first documented in the 16th century.
