Hi all,
Just doing up last bit of Mass booklet and basically at the start of Mass when we light our own separate candles, H2B will also light one in memory of his dad who passed away 2 years ago.
We just want to put a line saying - A candle will be lit in memory of X's Dad Y and stuck here. Basically we want to say something that he'll be missed/in our hearts etc today but at same time want to keep it brief as don't want to start the mass with anyone upset!
Hope that all makes sense but have been trying to word it all evening and have thought so much about it nothing I say makes sense to me! Any help would be greatly appreciated!
happy angel

This is what we used:
A candle burns on the altar in fond remembrance of xx's dad xx who passed away in xxx date.
" For those we have loved and lost along the way,
A flame to remember them burns here today,
For the laughter, smiles and memories remain,
Together, today their memory sustains,
Never forgotten, and loved evermore,
Today, their blessings, flicker and soar"

hi there
we had this in our booklets
In Loving Memory of those who could
not be with us to share our special day.
For those we have loved and lost along the way,
A flame to remember them burns here today.
For the laughter, smiles and memories remain,
Together today their presence sustains.
Never forgotten and loved forever more,
Today their blessings flicker and soar.
and on the memorial candle we had the following
Although we can’t see you
We know you are here
Smiling down
Watching over us
As we say “I Do”
Forever in our hearts
Forever in our lives
And so we say our vows
In loving memory of you
we had the names and dates underneath.
