Eulogy For Miriam

The whole family was in tears, but we also knew we needed to continue on our way down south. Mother was most upset, she just wanted to hold him one last time but I was afraid to let her. Thinking it would make things worse, I refused to let her hold him.Then we held a makeshift funeral we laid him in the hole we had dug last night. From there we all spoke out and said what he meant to us and how we will miss him. Father then began filling in the whole. As he did so, we all had one big group hug. It will take all of us time to move forward but we will get there.

I believe that Miriam is not real, I believe that shes just part of Mrs.Millers imagination. The first thing that led me to this conclusion was her appearance. "Her hair was the longest and strangest Mrs. Miller had ever seen: absolutely silver-white, like an albino’s." her hair indeed is unusual for a young girl. If shes part of Mrs.Miller imagination, she might be imagining some aspects of herself in Miriam ( which might symbolize Mrs.Millers old age) There's something else i noticed while i was reading the story, i noticed that Miriam always avoided questions that could be answered if she was real ( but shes not), for example when they were about to watch the movie Mrs.Millers asked her "Your mother knows where you are, dear? I mean she

Today, we have gathered to say our last goodbyes and pay our respects to a one of a kind woman, named Tessie Hutchinson. Tessie died from such a dreadful accident that none of us should be proud of. I know she would have want us all to end the Lottery and be affectionate to one another like she treated you guys. She has inspired all of us to make this town a better place for everybody and treat people with respect and kindness. We all should be grateful that Tessie rubbed off all of her incredible traits on us to make us better people inside and out. In her lifetime she has created legacies beyond her own capability. Nobody could ever replace the kind hearted women, who cared and put a smile on every single soul in this town. Tessie Hutchinson, caring about everybody in this town, was

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.

You are such an inspiration. You will soon be in the arms of god, all your pain will fade away and you will be free again! Life was so unfair to you, but you stayed so brave through it all. You fought so hard for so long. You are the strongest young lady I have ever seen. I’m so sorry you had to go through the toughest struggles of life at such a young age in the worst ways possible, but you can finally be at peace. You will always be remembered and loved by so many. May you rest in peace and fly high into the sky. God is forever looking after you and you will get your justice baby

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.

It's been a pleasure. We've been wanting to do this for a long time. I knew you were a sweetheart 'cause I've seen how you write, and I see how you encourage people, and it means the world.

Jerry stated that day forever changed his life and he felt there was no life left to live. He stated he tried to pick up his life without his family and couldn’t manage. He stated he had no other family, he was an only child and his parents were long passed away. Jerry stated his work started falling apart and he wasn’t eating or sleeping, then he lost his home his car and everything he worked so hard for. Now here we both sat in front of the service stations sharing our dinner. Jerry stated it felt so good to talk to someone about his life and to have the chance to tell his story. He thanked me again and said God bless you and your loved ones and began his journey to nowhere.

I interviewed my grandmother. Her name is Sandra Sue Wardlaw. But I call her Mamaw. Mamaw was born in Dayton Ohio on July 25, 1938. She still lives in Dayton, but Brooklynn Dayton.

By now all of her sisters have married last names. Mamaw has lived all over Dayton Ohio. She attended Jefferson Township School System when she was in school. Mamaw is short and has grey hair.

Yeah, I know it’s been awhile, huh? I definitely miss you too. I hope your health is getting better. I can’t wait to see you and the family again. How are you and your family doing?

Ava Elizabeth McGregor was named after Ava Gardner. Mother, Diane; adopted from Queens, New York adored the actress/singer so much, she had to name her first and only girl… Ava. The middle name is very special, being named after her great Grandmother. Her family is from Scotland, and moved her shortly after Ellis Island. The last name McGregor was actually changed from ‘MacGregor’. While traveling to America they needed to change something to it, in order to live here. Ava is a twin to Liam Bradford, whose middle name was also after their great Grandfather. They were born in Long Branch, New Jersey, while growing up in Fair Haven, then moving to Middletown. She has an older brother Austen James who goes to school at out in California at Dominican University,

I’m doing fine trying to enjoy life just a little. I turned 65 the other day and have decided to work another year. I only work 24 hours a week and not very hard at that so I figure why should I get off the money train. I just got my new company car, a TESLA P90D with ludicrous mode, the fastest sedan on the planet!! I’m never broad if I have something to play with.

Once, in the first week following his passing, I came through my front door and looked at the area where he would usually be sitting or lying. I called for him with the foolish notation that he would appear and come running to me. But of course, he did not. Then, I walked past his empty food bowls and tears started running down my face. It was a shattering reminder that he was gone and never coming back.

Richard played baseball growing up and was currently pitching at the Perkinston campus at the time. He always made sure that I had a smile on my face even if he tortured me with the “stinky sock” which came fresh off of his foot. He was always there when I just simply needed somebody. He was somebody that I knew I could count on no matter what. Richard loved God, family, teammates, and friends. He was a very social person who would do anything to help somebody or just to see somebody smile. He loved to fish and to just simply be outdoors. Our last family vacation was the Christmas before the accident happened and we all went to Disney World. The time at Disney World was very magical because I felt like I was an absolute princess. One afternoon, I was just a little cheerleader who couldn’t wait to get to my neighbor’s house. He asked me to scream him a loud and happy cheer. I did what he asked, kissed him goodbye, and ran off to play with my friends. I didn’t think anything about that being the last time I saw him.
