    Your eulogy is beautiful and heartfelt and I wouldn't change a thing

    I'm sorry for the loss of your wonderful Nan. I sometimes think it's harder when we are older when our grandparents die, as we have got so used to the fact that they are always around that we expect they will be with us forever!

    My thoughts are with you at this time.

    Teni, it is a wonderful tribute to your Nan.

    I found a couple of words missing and when you are talking about her visiting you in hospital when you lost you son you refer to her as he.

    I am not trying to pick on your wording but when you are up there reading, it is better that your wording is perfect as sometimes the nerves/emotions hit and all you having it down on paper is so much easier. Hope that made sense.

    It sounds like you had a wonderful Nan and what a wonderful role model for your Mum & yourself.

    You know, I read over it about ten times and never noticed I'd said "he" instead of "she"? Thanks Rivlas I'll re-read a couple more times before declaring it perfect

    Tenibear, your Eulogy is beautiful.
    It has me in floods of tears a mixture of happy tears that such beautiful people exist, of hope that one day my family may say things so lovely about me, and sadness that you have lost such a source of beautiful strength.
    AS for the newspaper notice I have recently been stung by the hideous cost. I think if you can, even if it takes a few weeks to financially recover you need to put the words you want. Its a one off cost and it seems you are like me, and words mean a lot.
    She might not be able to read them but they are a beautiful public tribute to her. If finances can't stretch at all, perhaps you could put some words in the funeral proceedings. or write a poem and throw it into the grave (if she is being buried) or put it in the coffin (if possible)
    RIP your lovely Nan, and how lovely that her legacy is hugs and "I love you's"
    Hugs to to you.
