    I am very sorry for the loss of your dad. These are a couple of links to websites with some good examples of poems that might be useful:

    I recently had to do the same sad task for my young nephew. I chose to make an actually card with a simple design on the front, a photograph on the inside cover and wording opposite. I decided that unless I got them laminated, the small cards would get damaged easily and I didn't have the time to find someone to laminate for me.

    HTH and I hope the days ahead are gentle for you.

    Also, forgot to say. Take a look on ebay because there are quite a few good examples on there.
  • You could create one of these cards yourself in Word and then get your local copy shop to print both sides and encapsulate in a business card sized pouch to protect it. They would also be able to do this if you only supplied the text and image albeit for an artwork and production charge.

    If you struggle please let me know as this is a service we can offer.

    Best regards,
