Eulogy For Grandmother
Hi, I am Jada, Chrissy’s younger sister and thank you for coming to my sister’s funeral. I am very grateful to have you all here. Today is a very sad day and I am here to share the loving, crazy, and funny memories with my sister.
My sister was a very sweet, loving Mink, who just wanted to love everyone. She has been there for her friends, family, and anyone else who needed her. I remember her giving up her home to a friend and went to find a new one. She’s been there for animals that she didn’t even know. She was always loyal and never turned on anyone. I remember when I got in trouble at school because I’d skipped hunting training and by the time I was home Chrissy had already told mom that she’d skipped hunting training and needed to stay for extra training the next day. The thought that my sister would take up for me still amazes me. There were

We were once looking for some fish and we decided whoever caught the most fish would get to have the largest fish that the loser had to catch. The most important rule was that you weren’t allowed to use bait. So, we started the challenge and about 10 minutes later I see her with a tiny worm. I didn’t think the worm was anything important, so I continued fishing. Another 10 minutes go by and I have nothing, my sister had about 20 different fish. I just sat there wondering why she had so many fish and I had none. Then I realized. She was using the worm for bait. When I looked at her with my wide eyes she laughed. Then she said since she was cheating she would give me all her fish. She gave me all her fish and caught the biggest fish I’d ever seen. That day was the best because we just sat there at the lake and split the 20 smaller fish that she’d caught. Since we were full by the time we’d gotten to the largest fish, we decided to give it to our mother when we returned home. Our mother was very proud of us for finally sharing since we would often argue a

    She will always be remembered as a loving mother, friend and wife. I will always remember her as a great wife and brilliant mother to my children. I think most people will remember her as the girl who was killed in the lottery. Which is sadly part of her life story, but I will always remember her as my loving Tessie. Tessie accomplished very much in her lifetime. The three biggest accomplishments she completed was being a doctor, a youth group minister, and a great wife and mom. The first thing I mentioned was her being a doctor, from the age of thirty to forty five tessie was our town's doctor. Treating the ill with knowledge and love she saved many townspeople's lives. She touched the hearts of many young children and teens by being our town’s youth minister. She brought many young souls closer to God including mine. The way I will remember her the most and my children will was how good she was to her family. We were truly blessed to have such an amazing person in our family.

    “You’ll just be cold now and not hungry.” Everyone got settled in we got our poles set up with the right weights and lures. That proved to be quite difficult due the fact that our fingers hadn’t fully thawed yet. We dropped our lines into the water and hoped for the best especially with the luck we’ve had the past few years in the same general area. We fished for a while and didn’t get any bites so we added more weight to the lines so the bait would sink deeper and hopefully that would be where the fish were. We dropped our lines into the water and almost immediately my father had something on his line. He reeled in and the fish continued to fight. The fish came out of the water and flopped onto the ice above gasping for air. The monster he reeled in was a walleye no more than five inches long. “I didn’t know we were fishing for sharks.” I said…

    While watching the Four Little Girls, I could see and understand better what was liked to live while the segregation still existed. In this movie, it showed through how many things black/colored people had to get thought. President Obama talked about how church was their safe place in their community. In this eulogy, Mr. President focused himself on how the church was the “African-American life center,” it was the “Hush Harbor,” were many people (colored) gathered and practiced their beliefs and how many things were offered and promised to them, yet not receiving it. This movie shows all of these statements made above, it shows how the grace it’s given, yet misleader by many, specially whites in this movie. I say this, because…

    My name is Ted and I am one of the nephews of Louie and Amy Alves. From day one Amy faced obstacles and even on her death-bed she never showed fear, never stopped laughing and never gave up. She inspired so many people throughout the course of her life and that was obvious by the turnout at the wake last night. Amy was a die-hard sports fan and a very athletic person growing up. She had 9 brothers and sisters, which I am sure contributed to her competitiveness. There is no doubt that she came from a military family because she possessed and passed on all of the military values as well as a patriotic spirit that was unbreakable. Her selfless service and dedication to her family was top notch. She lived her entire life honorably and with courage to spare. Integrity should have been her middle name and not only did she demand respect but she also offered it to everyone she met. Before Amy had children of her own she made it her duty to be like a “mom” to many young athletes, including myself.…

    Mrs. Mallard Eulogy

    • 352 Words
    • 1 Page

    Hello and thank you all for coming. Today we are gathered to mourn the loss of a spectacular individual who stood next to me through the thick and thin, through the good and bad, and has left my heart with a crater big enough to engulf the world, Mrs. Mallard. She was a faithful and devout woman whom I am proud to call my wife. We spent many years together, during which I always tried to make her happy. Yet recently all the memories of her and I have come flooding back to me in tidal waves of emotions, and after consideration I feel I have not done enough. I did not cherish every second of every minute of every hour I was with her and it devastates me at this time, but that’s how it always goes I suppose. But not for her. Mrs. Mallard ensured my life was as simplistic and easy going as she could. Whether it was her loving support, physical labors, or the smiles she would give me which could outshine the moon. She would always know what I needed and would move mountains to make sure I had it. Her affection was so strong that it ultimately caused her passing. After being told I had perished in a mining incident she become so distressed that her heart could not handle the news that I was still alive. She had always had complications with that immense heart of hers, it was her Achilles heel. The one thing which chained her from ascending to the perfect woman, the one trade off which god decided he needed to bestow upon her so she would not take the role of a demi-god. However I know now that she is the most eloquent and beautiful angel heaven has ever seen and they will treasure her in ways I never could. This is the only fact which has kept me sane through this abysmal time. Everyone will now be able to pay their individual respects to Mrs. Mallard, and once again thank you for coming.…
