A Eulogy Letter To My Loving Grandmother And Aunt

It was an early Christmas morning, I could smell the sugar cookie smell making its way through my house. I could only think of one person that could make this happen, my Abuelita. “Grandma” I shout from my room as she was in the kitchen. I wanted cookies so bad before opening our presents. But we wait for my dad to come from his house before opening presents.

When I look back at my childhood I cannot picture it without you. You have helped shaped who I am today and for that I thank you. When I think of you i think about all the love that you have to give. I am so lucky to have you in my life and I will always cherish the memories that I have with you.

I would like to thank everyone who has come here today to say goodbye to a dear friend of mine and yours. A friend who was kind. A friend who loved everyone.A friend. Lennie Small was my only friend. He was my family.

The first footsteps we've ever taken are the ones that have imprinted the inside of our mothers' stomachs. Mothers don't just give birth to us, they give us a life to live. Now, some might say mothers are supposed to give birth; it's a natural process that is their duty. It's physically straining to have a child, but it takes a true warrior to raise a child. It is often forgotten how much they continuously provide for us and how many sacrifices they make. My mother has been my inspiration, not because of her title as my mother but because she is the prime example of a what I call a hero.

On May 11th 2013, my grandma passed away due to pancreatic cancer. A little later that year on September 25th, my mom received a call from my aunt in Guam that my dad had passed away in his sleep. Then on May 14th 2014, my grandpa passed from complications of an allergic reaction to a medication. So within a year, I was left to deal with three immediate family deaths, one right after another. Losing such important figures in one’s life could leave someone depressed and unmotivated to move on with their own life and to rise above those challenges is difficult, yet possible. During this time of hardship, I grew discouraged and saddened, but over time I became motivated to set aside these struggles and make a change.

My aunt whom just so happened to be one of my role models passed away. I was devastated. Not only was I confused, but I was lost as well. A woman I looked up to was gone forever. I missed a few days of school and starting falling behind on work. It took me awhile to process my aunt's’ death. I finally realized that I have to move on. I knew that she would not approve of me being sad. I started remembering all of the positive memories my aunt left behind. I gained a tremendous amount of knowledge from her. Until this day, I carry what she taught me everywhere I go. I strive harder to make her

A time to say goodbye to my adviser who has helped and guided me through the years to be a better person since I moved to Arcadia in 2008. The longest city I have lived and loved. Thank you Father Michael for everything. I will never forget the kindness, words of wisdom, care and compassion you have given me and my children. We will greatly miss you! May our Almighty God bless you on your next journey.

Christina let us appreciate, thank, and praise the lord for his kind care over our relatives. Who have gone forth, and sacrificed their lives, for the conservation of our country. I cannot believe the murderous people that have rose up to destroy the best government in this world.

To my beautiful wife Hallie Baxter, you have saved my life by giving me purpose and perspective. When I think back about the time I was sitting at that bus stop bench in japan, and you messaged me that day. I didn’t know what to say at first, but as time passed and our love grew our wedding day finally came. I knew when I looked into your eyes that day I found the other half of my heart. Never in my life have I gazed upon someone so kind, strong, beautiful or smart. You have stuck beside me through thick and thin. Without you I would have never laid eyes on our beautiful daughters face. I don’t know where I would have ended up without you. But I know I am grateful to be with you every sec of every day. What I’m trying to say is that you taught

Please know that we truly appreciate all the kindness that you have extended to our family over the years. We are so grateful for you and your influence over Jacqueline.

I am writing to thank you for the honor of caring for your family member for many years; it has been a great pleasure in having the responsibility of your love one to care for.

I don't know what would’ve happened to me if you’re were not around to look after me, I would have been lost. Sorry I took some of your time from your family. Again, thanks for everything. When you were growing up, we never hold you back. We always encourage you to excel, and most of all be a good person. Now you are older, and what an amazing person you’ve become! Am sure you’ll do the same for your kids. May God guide you to make the right decision in your life and for your family. Have faith in God. Farewell my

If there's anyone who could brighten up a room full of people arguing over which part of the turkey they want, disagreeing over politics, sharing the latest family gossip, it's definitely him. It's Thanksgiving and as I enter my grandparent’s house, I see him conversing with my aunt who's resemblance is uncanny, as he sips his glass of white wine and instantly looks up at me. It’s my grandfather, Gelo.

At a time when the loss of a loved one can bring sorrow and grief that is difficult to bear, we pray that you do not despair, for God’s love will keep you with a perfect peace that is beyond compare.

To her parents, she loved you both so much. She wanted you both to be proud of her and her accomplishments, and I know you both were very proud of her. To her brothers and sister in laws, she wanted to thank you all for all the fun memories that you all shared throughout the years. She was very proud of all of you and what you all accomplished. She was raised by the most loving and genuine people, her mother and father. You taught her the value of life and the word of god. To her mother
