I want to start by congratulating Alisha and John, and thanking all of you for coming here to celebrate a week of memories. Alisha, I want to say how beautiful you look today and to tell you that this has truly been a special day for me. Thank you for giving true meaning to the word sister and for sharing the last 19 years with me. When I think back on our childhood, I have nothing but fond memories with you. Growing up with a sister 8 years older wasnt a bad thing especially when her hot looking girlfriends came over. Sister, it seems like yesterday you were dressing me up with makeup, nail polish and playing our typical childhood board games, that I always won! Not because I out smarted you, because you never wanted to see me disappointed. …show more content…
I hope you understand how lucky we are to have you in our family. I remember the first time I met John and could see how nervous he was to meet my family, But I could see how well they both complemented each other, how happy they were together and how they shared the same morals and values. As I got to know John more, He became a friend and not this dude that was dating my sister. My fondest memory of John is from his first christmas with my family..Like every other year my mom would buy our traditional christmas pajamas..That year my mom buys us all Red Onesies with our names..So alisha and I go upstairs to change while John is changing in the bathroom, but what a surprise we got..John comes out with his onesie on but didn't understand he had to remove his clothes first..heres the onesie overtop of his jeans and T-shirt and says "I think this is too small". We all had a good laugh, even though John thought this tradition was silly, he thinks different today and looks forward to every christmas minus the jeans and T-shirt. John, thank you for all that you've done and for everything I know you'll do. Alisha and Karsyn are lucky to have you, but so are we. I also think you.re going to be a pretty great bonus
On behalf of my entire family, I want to thank all of you for your compassion and for being present here today. For those of you who don't know me, my name is Mauri-Lynne, and I'm Lionel's daughter. Dad was devoted to every one of you. We all hope that you'll share your memories of him with us, if not today then in the weeks and months to come.
I would like to thank all of you for coming here today to help us, as a family, to heal, and to celebrate my mother’s life.
I stand before you today to pay my last respects, and to say my final goodbyes, to my father Harry.
Firstly, on behalf of the bridesmaids, I'd like to thank Mike for his kind words and reiterate how wonderful they look and what a fantastic job they have done today. I would also like to say that Sallie looks stunning - as I'm sure you'll all agree. Which really isn't that much of a surprise given we are related.
I'd like to thank you all for the outpouring of support and condolences on the loss of my beautiful son Adam. My entire family appreciates it. This is my eulogy to Adam:
Good morning. Joe and I thank you all for coming to celebrate our son Mark's life.
I want to thank all of my Mother’s friends and family for being here today to celebrate her life and to mourn her death. I’m sure she would be thrilled to see all of you here and I know it would have meant the world to her.
On behalf of my family, I want to thank you all for joining us here today to celebrate John’s long and amazingly fruitful life—a life of love extended, commitments kept, and faith observed.
Eulogy for Father As you all know, there were certain things Loyd liked -- dogs, and poker games, football, and airplanes -- and there were certain things he didn’t like -- carrots, political speeches, telephone solicitations (especially those made by insurance men), and long-winded eulogies. I won’t do that because for every story that I could tell today about Loyd, his friends here today could tell fifty more. I am very secure in the knowledge that Loyd lived every day of his life to the fullest and I feel that Mother and Delia Ruth are secure in that knowledge as well. And we are very grateful to you all for being here today with us to honor his life.
On behalf of myself, my mom and my brother, I want to thank everyone for being here....On the one hand, I was dreading today. I don't want to cry anymore. I don't want to yearn to hug my dad one last time, long to see his smiling face or hear his cheerful voice. On the other hand, I wanted today to come so that I could be around all of the people who love my dad so that I might feel his presence through sharing memories of him,....sharing tears....and maybe even sharing some laughter.
For the first time in my life, I'll celebrate Father's Day this year without my dad. The man who had the most influence on the man I became passed away on April 14. Jack was 79.
Good afternoon, let me just start by saying that the kindness, support, friendship, and love extended to me and my family during this difficult time has really touched my heart- we are sincerely appreciative!
Before I begin I would like to thank all of you here on behalf of my mother, my brother and myself, for your efforts large and small to be here today, to help us mark my fathers passing.
Good Evening! For those of you who don?t know me, I?m Charlotte, the very proud sister of our glamorous Bride. I want to start by congratulating Kari and Ernest, and thanking all of you for coming here today.
Anthony, I thank you for all the fun times we have spent together even if they were short lived. Over the years I have come to the conclusion that you must have been an angel sent by God to help me grieve and become a strong willed woman because no one has ever been able to help me see the light like you could. Clouds of darkness shadowed over me no matter what anyone else would say, but you made me smile with just your presence. You didn't have to say a word; everything was okay when you were beside me.
