Eulogy To end a story we all must begin one as well. All it takes is one spark to cause the chain reaction we know as life. Setting forth the path that we are to walk, to teach us and for us to teach ourselves what it means to be live a life. None of us know what it means to have lived our life till one has passed on, and leaves in his wake the impact of his person on us all. Daimion Thomas was an imaginative soul.…
As I look around from my where I stand, I see many faces; familiar and unfamiliar. We are all gathered here for one reason: to pay tribute to my Baba; Agha Sahib to most of you. I am aware that most of you have travelled long distances just to be here and this sheds light on the kind of man he was. For those of you who aren’t acquainted with me, my name is Amir and this is my father.…

The song “Simple Man” by Hank Williams Jr is the perfect example of how my grandpa lived his life. My grandpa was a simple kind of man he did not own expensive cars or big houses. He wanted things to be as simple as possible just so he had more time and money for his family. He would say that troubles will come but they will pass quickly, he was very right about that. When I was around 15 and looking for my first job he told me to find something that I loved and understood, if I didn’t I would not enjoy my job much.…
Robert Frost once debated whether the world ended in fire, or ice. It is a sad thought that the world will end without him; that the future generations will be privy to such events made for people like Robert. He was an inspirational, American poet who questioned the very core of our beliefs, he chose paths that few had took, and that is why today he is remembered today.…

It is a quiet room filled with people. Most of them have smiles on their faces. Some of them are even about to have a laughter or two. Is it easy to find such a room in a university? Yes. But is it easy to find such a room where people are holding a funeral in? Absolutely no. The masterpiece-eulogy by Margaret Atwood made it possible. That is right, I am talking about “The Great Communicator”(1999), the eulogy to Northrop Frye.…
The word originated from the Greek language, and from the words “word/ speech of praise”…
The sacrifices you made for this relationship were immense, including the decision you made to relocate to Vancouver to be with me. I let you down by not being prepared, and for not supporting you enough during the transition. I know how difficult this was for you, especially taking a job in retail, and not teaching the kinds of students you were accustomed to in Toronto. At times I felt helpless, as your frustrations grew, and instead of understanding and compassion I was focused on my own dissolving career and increasing unhappiness.…
I Father O’reilly am privileged to have gathered amongst you all today, to give another perspective of a man who was not “just Ed”. He never gave himself great value but in my eyes he was a saint walking among us. I will never forget the moments and favours that Ed has shared with me. Ed, as many would say was a useless cab driver but in truth, I would say he was more of an inspiration and certainly it was an honour to have met this young gentleman.…
His name was Bradley Tolman. He was born on March 21, 1998 in Madison Memorial Hospital, in the city of Rexburg, Idaho. As a child Brad was an extremely hilarious kid, he was always smiling and laughing. There was always one thing about him that he would always do, he tied his blanket around his neck like a cape, and put on a pair of sunglasses, ran around the house saying “I’m Batman”. He would save people from the bad guys. Then there was this time when he wanted his mom to cut his hair right before school; because he wanted to go to school with his hair short. It was about time the bus should have been coming to pick them up. He really wanted his hair cut so much that he ran into the house, grabbed his dad’s electric razor,…
Seventy-three year old John Baisch absolutely loved growing up in Burien, just blocks away from Puget Sound. John adores Washington, especially the Seattle area, which brings back many memories of his childhood. As I interviewed John, I noticed that a majority of his answers involved his family and his love for them. His entire life revolved around his family, and it is amazing how they impacted his life today.…
I thank you for allowing me in your heart, but most of all thank you for all the times we have shared and thank you for being you….. baby I love you …
