29. So sorry for your loss. I spent hours on the Internet looking for

poems and readings for my mom's memorial service. Just type in what your dad loved and the word poem and see what you find. We ended up using a Mary Oliver poem. She has many nice nature ones. Not too religious.

We used 'Sleeping In The Forest' by Mary Oliver. I had seen it months before but felt it was too dark. Then when mom passed and I was there I saw the poem again and it was no longer too dark. Good luck on your journey. It was gratifying to find the right poem. My brother read it at the service.
