The eulogies were tremendously moving. Grant's sister Sally started out by saying "I really do recall a schoolboy coming home through fields of cane to a house of tin and timber".
She told a hilarious story of Grant getting on a plane around the time of 9/11 using just a CD cover to prove he was who he said he was. Robert was called from his seat to go to the aircraft door and vouch for who Grant was! "So perhaps you can imagine Grant at the pearly gates using the same tactics," she said.
