The eulogy or tribute is a loving gift to your fellow mourners and it will be remembered for many years to come. And think of him as living, in the hearts of those he touched, for nothing loved is ever lost - and he was loved so much" (Author: Ellen Brenneman). Think how he must be wishing, that we could know today, how nothing but our sadness, can really pass away. Just think of him as resting, from the sorrows and the tears, in a place of warmth and comfort, where ther eare no days and years. "Don't think of him as gone away - his journey's just begun, life holds so many facets, this earth is only one. When you are putting together a funeral or memorial program, a poem, quotation or reading is one way to pay tribute to the passing of a loved one. "Almighty God, Father of all mercies and giver of all comfort: deal graciously, we pray, with those who mourn, that casting every care on you, they may know the consolation of your love, through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Book of Common Prayer). I have used this stanza to explain life's journey which includes death.Īnother great benefit of poems, quotations or readings is that you can use them as prayers. "For this is a journey we all must take, and each must go alone it's all a part of the Master's plan, a step on the road to home" (Author Unknown). The third stanza is often very informing for funeral and memorial service. I have used the poem Miss Me - But Let Me Go in several funeral and memorial services.

My name sake William Goldsmith Brown was the Poet LAURETE OF Portage Co. I never knew until recently who wrote it. It's been with me ever since and I hold it dearly as it means a lot to me when she passed in 2000. Several months before my Mom's passing I found this poem in CA while on a school bus trip to a mission, It was incased into a very nice wooden frame and I bought it. Simply an incredible and uplifting poem that brings healing.
It touches heart.nothing remains to be said anymore!!!!. Based on a CBC Radio interview with Mary Frye in 2000, the above is believed to be the correct, original version of the poem. Extensive research has generally, if not fully, confirmed Mary to be the author.
Because Mary was not a recognized poet, and because this poem was never officially published or copyrighted, there has been much debate over its origins and many different people have tried to claim it as their own or have written variations on the original. A housewife and florist who lived in Baltimore, Maryland, after marrying, she wrote this poem after learning that a friend's mother had died. Mary Elizabeth Clark Frye (1905-2004) was born in Dayton, Ohio, and was orphaned at the age of three. Ask for this YDP anthology at your favorite bookstore or order it online today!
