ME- Your husband, father, son, brother, friend, or enemy, villain, and complete pain in the butt! (I’m sure there are children present so “butt” will have to suffice) Writing my own eulogy is proving to be a difficult task, especially considering, I intending on being honest about the life I’ve lived! We have all been to funerals where loved ones are doting on about the deceased as if they had never been human. This will not be one of those funerals.
To my wife: I Love You, and I’m tremendously impressed with all that you have accomplished, but nothing is more impressive than the love and grace you have shown your children and I! I miss you, and cant wait till you get here. In the mean time, please continue to love and be loved! Find

Despite my best efforts, all four of you have become amazing people of intellect and compassion. I love you to the moon and back! Four you ask? Peru, hello? Seriously though, the three of you, are all that is good in me! See you soon, I’m waiting.
To my brothers and sisters: I want all of you to know, I love you and cant wait to see you here. It’s beautiful just like you. Brothers, pleural you ask? Ask dad, (Roy not Dave) it’s not my place to explain. Jesse, you know what I mean…

The one thing he always knew was that he served something bigger than this world had to offer. Josh later became my brother in law when he married my sister. He loved her with a fierce love that saw them through this life. Whether it was standing by her while they raised their three children or fighting for his life as she stood by helpless, he never quit loving her and his family. His heart was huge and he took that heart to distant places to give pieces of it to people in needed the touch of love through first responder training. He always had more to give. He loved working on his home and his hobbies. From yard work to restoring cars he put his unique stamp on the things he touched. He loved all of his children equally and poured into their lives too. Running, to encourage his son that he could too. Loving dogs, because his daughters love for them, mattered to him. Hiking with his baby girl, because she loved to spend time outdoors with her daddy. One thing always spoke loudest about Josh, he loved. Loved God, his wife, his children, his parents, his family and friends, the fire department and strangers. He loved and he
At my funeral, I hope people share about my love. I want them to remember how I made them feel special and comfortable every time they had a conversation with me. I want them to say that I was bold yet compassionate, that I was strong and sincere, and that I was trustworthy.
I didn’t have the opportunity to thank you and tell you what was in my heart when you departed. That is the reason for this letter.
I can feel you with me. Rest now. In PEACE. I miss your voice. I wish more people could have heard it. I promise I will keep singing for you."
Eulogy for Rab I am Johnny Tremain, friend and fellow worker of Rab’s. Not many have the gift of kindness, but Rab sure did. I remember when I met Rab, he was talking to a lady about her pig. He was an apprentice in the printing business, working for his uncle. The lady wanted a lost ad for her lost pig, Myra.
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 am ecstatic to know that you are alive and well. It feels like it has been an eternity since you were born 23 years ago in our very own home in England. I still remember the day that I had to leave you, tears swelling up in my eyes, I left when you were only at the age of 8! It killed me to leave you, knowing I would probably never see you or your mother's face ever again. But here we are, communicating by letter from distant colonies in the new world. At least I can sigh of relief knowing that you are in the same country as me. Maybe someday we will be able to see each other. Until then, I do know that you and I have plenty of work to do developing our isolated distant colonies. To this day I still dream of you, me and your own mother meeting
Goodness, where do I start? I must first start by saying this year has been one of the best of my whole entire life! I’m incredibly grateful to have been given the opportunity to shadow you, not only shadow you, but develop a relationship with you and get to know you as a doctor and on a personal level. It’s complete devastation to know you are leaving, however I am so excited for you. I wish you nothing but the best on this new chapter in your life; I know you’ll go off and continue to heal and inspire just as you have here at St. Mary Corwin.
I can’t even describe how much I miss you, but I will see you sooner than later. Love, Gage” That letter gave me hope that they would return home safe and healthy with no harm done. Later that day I went outside and played hopscotch with my friends Sally, Susan, and Kim. They asked me how I’m doing with my brother and dad being gone, and I told them that I believed they will come home safely.
I had never given much thought into how I would die. There’s something about being young that causes us to believe we’re invincible. It’s not like dying young is uncommon, it’s just that there’s something extra despairing about a life ending before it had really begun. Over the past 18 years, I’ve never thought twice about my mortality. I mean, it wasn’t anything special to me. I knew that I would eventually die, but eventuallies aren’t always as far as you think. Here I am, only 18 years old, my cold body
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
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
According to the Merriam-Webster's dictionary, eulogy or elegy is the spoken or written tribute that praises someone or something very highly, a tribute to somebody who has recently died or alive. The word is derived from the two Greek words for "you" and "word" ( Anton). The elegy dates back to classic Greek poetry containing two lines known as a couplet and combines many of these couplets to create the funeral poem (Anton). The most noted scholar and poet Callimachus, expressed powerful emotions in a shorter form than a full-length epic poem calling these "elegy" that captured many readers with his vivid style of expressing emotions. (funeralhomeestacoma). It wasn't until the 1800s that English poets like Lord Tennyson famous ballad, "The Lady of Shallott" and Thomas Gray's ballad "Elegy Written in a Country Courtyard' conveyed solitude, grief and foreboding ( funeral...). Writers of the Romantic Era such as William Wordsworth and Samuel Taylor Coleridge used elegiac poetry in a lyrical manner, but over time this was less favored and the elegy worked best as an expression of mourning (funeral...).
I also would like to thank both of you for coming up with an arrangement allowing me to stay on the Family Plan. You're always trying to help us and know I'm very fortunate for your generosity. I really miss you guys and think about you and everyone all of the time! I love you both so much and miss you tons!
I’m glad to know that you have chosen me to be part of your family for a year, I cannot wait to travel to the states. I wish I would have a chance to meet you and know you well and be part of your family.
It has been nearly a year since we started talking again after years of no communication. Words do not suffice to express how much I truly love you, and how grateful I am that you entered my life. You have been one of my biggest supports, you have believed in me when I felt that no one did, you have given me your all: your love, your time, your energy, your lost hours of sleep, your tears, your laughs. To this day, whenever I am in doubt, you have always cheered me on and made me believe that I can do anything, that I don’t have any limitations, and that has changed my life; you have changed my life. I never thought you would come to hold such high value in my heart, but I am glad you did, and all the time has been worthwhile. I like to think that I do not have a heart, that I am apathetic, but there are two factors outside of family that say otherwise: my love for children, and you.
