A reading for grandma's funeral

I cannot help you with a bible passage, maybe just something that you kbnow may have been a favorite of hers. The following was not written by me, but I like to share it with peopl who have lost a friend or family member. Hope it helps you: *********** If tomorrow starts without me And I'm not there to see, If the sun should rise and find your eyes All filled with tears for me; I wish so much you wouldn't cry The way you did today While thinking of the many things we did not get to say. I know how much you love me, as much as I love you, And each time that you thinki of me I know you'll miss me too. But, if tomorrow starts without me Please try to understand That an angel came and called my name And took me by the hand. He said my place was ready In heaven far above. And that I'd have to leave behind all those I dearly love. But as I turned to walk away A tear fell from my eye For all my life, I'd always thought I did not want to die, I had so much to live for. So much yet left to do. It seemed almost impossible That I was leaving you. I thought of all the yesterdays The good ones and the bad. I thought of all the love we shared And all the fun we had. If I could relive yesterday Just even for a while. I'd say good bye and kiss you Maybe even see you smile. But then I fully realized That this could never be. For emptiness and memories Would take the place of me. And when I thought of worldly things I might miss come tomorrow I thought of you and when I did My heart was filled with sorrow. But when I walked through Heaven's gate I felt so much at home When God looked down and smiled at me From his great golden throne. He said "This is eternity, and all I've promised you Today your life on earth is past But here life starts anew I promise no tomorrow But today will always last, And since each day's the same way There's no longing for the past. You have been so faithful, So trusting and so true, Though there were times You did some things You knew you shouldn't do. But you have been forgiven And now, at last, you're free. So won't you come and take my hand, And share my life with me." So, if tomorrow starts without me Don't think we're far apart. For every time you think of me I'm right here in your heart.

MrsFred96, Was there a text that she liked particularly? perhaps that could be helpful. At the same time, I tend to feel that Psalms 23 will be best at this time as well. Don't know why, I just do. My condolences to you and your family at this time.
