Eulogy For Friends

Last summer, I had the magnificent privlege of chatting with Barbara Niven prior to the premiere of the Hallmark original series, Chesapeake Shores.  Our friendship began a few years ago during the airing of Cedar Cove, and with each passing year, I find myself more in awe and appreciative of this benevolent soul. There is something uniquely vibrant and genuine about Barbara that makes her an instant fan favovrite and one of the truly inspiring women in the world today. I have been blessed yet again to speak with this remarkable gentlemwoman this year!

Hello my name is charles monroe sheldon and I was born on february 26,1857, at wellsville, new york. My father was a minister,and because of it my family and I moved frequently until, in 1869,where we stayed in a frontier tract and lived in a log cabin in the Dakota territory for several years.I went to school at phillips academy, brown university, and andover theological seminary, I completed my theological degree in 1886. then I became a pastor in a congregational church at waterbury, vermont, but I only stayed two years since I desired a new church that I could help direct from the beginning. A visitor from kansas introduced me to his granddaughter Mary Abby Merriam, and encouraged me to come to topeka. The central congregational church

I would first like to thank you all, friends and family alike for joining us here today. Our friend, Herman W. Mudgett, who most people knew as H.H. Holmes; was my closest friend for most of my life. In our early years of childhood he was a crazy kid, though he always had nice things to say about people. He was so creative and with his ingenuity he never ceased to amaze everyone with his creations. His all time goal in life was to build something everyone could enjoy at The chicago’s world fair, but in the early stages of his life that didn't seem plausible. As well as we all knew him, that wasn't going to stop him. He was an insurance policy salesman and he could sell anyone, anything. So with that chapter of his life going on, besides the

Have you had someone that has gave you advice or wisdom? Well I have and my dad was the one who gave me some words of wisdom and advice. He would always say, "never give up, to always try my best, And if you fall down, get right back up and try again." My dad has always been there for me and my sisters to give us all wisdom and knowledge in all things like sports, school, or life.

It was good to hear from you. I don't know though Rob. I can't be just your friend, it was too deep for me. I don't think we were ever on the same page, I always was ready and wanted more than you. You say I'm annoying but that's because I don't know how to deal with being hurt. You just block everything out, I can't do that. I don't know how to deal with hurt feelings so I lash out and act crazy. I say hurtful things because I'm hurt. I tried time and time again but you didn't want nothing to do with me, and believe it or not, that's okay. It's okay. You hurt me more than anybody or any heartbreak I ever had. You're the only person in this world to ever get me pregnant. Then, regardless of my decision, you left me, no support, no are you okay, nothing. Steve told me you need all the support you can get right now, but when I needed support you were no where to be found. I am content with my decision and after a year I finally am okay. I realize I would have been alone. You made your decision, and I made mine and I am at peace with it.

Have you ever had someone do something so small and simple but have such a huge impact on you? That one thing that makes you feel unstoppable. That one thing for me was my uncle Mike. Mike, no matter where you were or what you were doing could make light out of any situation. There were no comments made of “this day is so slow”, or “work sucks”, the everyday complaints of the average American. Mike was my number one inspiration in life. He saved people’s lives in the military, and in his everyday job as a prison officer.

Although the idea of divorce can be sad, sometimes it’s necessary. My family has become so much closer through all of this and I can honestly say, I think we’ve all come out of it just a little bit stronger. I always heard people talking about how in order to really enjoy the high points in your life, you have to go through some rough times, and now, that really makes sense to me. This was by far the hardest thing I’ve gone through, but also the thing that has helped me grow the

I am honored to have this opportunity to congratulate my brother Brett and his beautiful wife Jessica on this charming afternoon, in front of our newly extended family and friends. As many of you know, Brett and I are only 11 months apart, so we have not been away from each other for more than a year. Today, I am passing the role of being his best friend to his wife, and my new sister in law. I pray that you can embrace his true character, understand his personality, and that he will continue to teach you valuable lessons. Brett, don’t worry I won’t tell all of your embarrassing stories, or how you have teased me every day of my life, but I will highlight some of my favorite moments with you. The reasons I remind myself every morning how

The baby and I are doing well the doctor told me to relax for two week, I have had a little bit of a rough recover but I will be able to return to my normal routine on Monday March 14th. I was able to finish and access the practice midterm but I did not realize that I would not be able to access the midterm because it was past the due date. I was wondering if you would still allow me to take it and if not I understand. Thank you.

“We are gathered here today to celebrate the life of my sister Laurent Martinez. My sister was an amazing wife, mother, daughter, and sibling. When I think of Laurent as a child I cannot help but ponder on how much she enjoyed exploring the world which seems so vast from our beach house backyard. Most of our summers involved walking the white sands in search for sea shells and sand dollars. My sister was a captivating individual, every time that she entered a room it was automatically illuminated with laughter and a fun filled time. Laurent was way more than a spontaneous risk taker; she also had a humble soul which could place a smile on anyone’s face. She had this light spirit to her which allowed her to have a variety of friends; my sister

I believe that one time my grandma told me a story. It was about her growing up as a kid. She did not have any sisters or any girls living anywhere near her cause she lived on a farm. What she did have was 3 brothers. Since she lived with boys growing up she did a lot of boy things. An example is for fun instead of playing with dolls she climbed trees with her brothers. I have been researching for about two weeks and know I am here to tell you about what I have doing. Honestly was very hard as a researcher, I didn’t get anything done on the computers instead I did a lot of interviews. I want to tell you when you’re stuck do not give up in 30 minutes. Just ask your teacher for a little advice or some help with researching. I believe that family is very important because all of them will love you and care for you.

So there's this "love your spouse challenge" that I'm currently participating in, after being challenged by a few people. However before I came around to it, all I could think of was the fact that I know several couples whom I love and admired that have split up in just this year alone! This post is not for anyone in particular or to offend the ones who relate to it. It's merely my perspective of this dreadful year of breakups!.. Now, I'm no expert in love and relationships, and I don't have my entire relationship figured out but what I don't understand.. After looking at my husband and reflecting on our relationship is how, how do you just give up? I mean, things get tough, challenges will come, you will challenge each other for the most part

Ricky wake up you don't wanna be late to grandpas do you. I am up and getting ready give me about one hour. As I pack my stuff for my grandparents house I put my summer clothes so I will be able to play outside without getting in trouble with mom. As I put my backpack in the car I Get ready for the long ride up there. As I Wake up from my nap I see that we are at grandmas and that my mom looked a little nervous about letting me stay with them this week and she usually is not like this, so i went and ask her why she looked so nervous. She told me not to worry about it and that I’ll be fine as she got in the car to leave. While mom is pulling out she yells out the window I love you and that she will be there to pick me up on monday. As we watched her pull off grandma asks me to come inside they are getting ready to make dinner and she would need some help getting thing since she is getting

Wow! Summer took a really big risk at being friends with August. She was very brave because me being a seventh grader it would be very challenging to be friends with someone like him. I would be afraid about what people would think of it. Summer and all the other students who were friends and remained friends with August were very outgoing and brave.

Life is a hard concept to understand because it can be there one minute, and gone the next. I have experienced the death of some very important people in my life, my grandfather being one of them. At the beginning of this year my great grandfather died, and after his death I realized that I took his life for granted. From this horrible experience, I have learned to appreciate the time I have with the people I love, and I have learned to show people my love rather than have people assume my love for them.
