My grandfather kept a folder of virtually everything I wrote when I was in high school, and I like to think that he thought I was talented and that he was proud of me. Because of this and because I will not be at his funeral, my parents asked me to write something for the minister to read

This might be a little late but have you thought about having someone bring a laptop with wireless internet and a camera to the funeral . I only ask because my brother and I talked about what to do if my grandfather dies while he is in Iraq last night. It is possible (he has been sick a long time and mentally is mostly gone already) and we doubt he would be able to leave. However, he would want to be a part of the funeral as much as possible.

That would've been a really good idea, although I'm selfishly (somewhat) happy that I missed it. The funeral home made an audio recording of the service, though, so I'll get to hear it at some point.
