"Today, as we gather to bid farewell to our dear grandma Carmela, we are overcome with a mix of emotions. While our hearts ache with the loss of her physical presence, we find comfort in knowing that she is now at peace in the loving arms of our Heavenly Father.

As we reflect on her life, we are reminded of the countless lives she touched with her kindness, wisdom, and unwavering love. Grandma Carmela had a special gift for making everyone feel cherished and valued. Whether through her warm embraces, her comforting words, or her delicious homemade meals, she showered us all with love unconditionally.

In moments of sorrow, we turn to the healing words of scripture for guidance and solace:

1. "He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds." - Psalm 147:3

In our grief, we find comfort in knowing that God is near, gently tending to our wounds and offering us His peace.

2. "In my Father's house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you?" - John 14:2

We take solace in the promise of heaven, knowing that grandma Carmela is now in a place of eternal joy and serenity, reunited with loved ones who have gone before her.

3. "Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins." - 1 Peter 4:8

Grandma Carmela embodied this verse throughout her life, loving us all deeply and teaching us the true meaning of unconditional love.

As we bid farewell to grandma Carmela today, let us hold onto the precious memories we shared with her and carry her love in our hearts always. Though she may no longer be with us in body, her spirit will continue to guide and inspire us each day.

Rest in peace, dear grandma Carmela. You will be dearly missed, but your love will live on in us forever."
