Writing a eulogy for a man who has died too young...well, not a truly young man, but, at 58 years, I consider that way too young.
His 6 grandchildren will light candles, as the celebrant says:
(Names of the children)" .........as you light these candles, they are a reminder of your loved Pop - your love for him and his for you. The lights represent his life - and his courage throughout his illness - as they also represent your courage and strength as you look to the future without
him.
These little candle-lights are lights to signify love....and to remember".
That's nice, isn't it? I hope the words help.
