I'm so sorry for your loss.
I heard a poem once at a funeral that was very good. It spoke of a ship leaving shore and how it would be missed by those it left behind. The poem ends from the other side as it welcomes the ship home. I'm afraid I don't know the title but I'll try to find it for you in my notes at home tonight. If anyone else knows this poem, please post it. It is well written and speaks volumes.
