Recommended: The Role Of Extended Family

First let me tell you just how proud I was to be asked to write a letter to you on this special occasion. As you know, and have heard so many times, your mother is more like my daughter and therefore, by extension, I look at you as my grandson, you have a special place in my heart— right where you belong. Sometimes I think about you as a toddler full of energy. Then about the boy who would stand back and observe, looking out at all the possibilities. Through the years I have watched you grow with amazing grace, love, charm, wit, and a truly unique and admirable personality. When you have ventured off with Jared, you have been a role model for him, showing him how someone should act and how they should treat others. I have a picture of you with a smiling child sitting in your lap, which was taken on one of these mission trips. When I see the smile not only on your face, but also the little boy, I cannot help but be proud of you for your grace and love which you gave this child so freely. Know, you have changed that boy’s life, perhaps only briefly, but each little change in the world adds up. If everyone took a moment, think where everyone would be. You have been a wonderful influence on Jared and for that alone I am thankful. Just when I think you can no longer surprise me, you again do something wonderful. …show more content…

Because having you in our lives is truly a reason to be thankful. Some people make you smile whenever you think of them, make your day whenever you talk to them, and just make you thankful you are close. The best gift is knowing, we'll always be connected by

  • Eulogy for Grandfather

    2048 Words  | 5 Pages

    One of my earliest memories of Grandpa begins with us driving to the Monmouth Park Racetrack. We sure did love to go to the track and root for Julie Krone or one of our other favorite jockeys. He loved challenges, and he especially loved the challenge of picking the ponies. He would read the race programs in the Asbury Park Press and usually pre-pick most of the day's favorite horses before ever leaving the house. Still, on arrival, we always bought the program and maybe a race sheet or two before entering the track grandstand. After picking up a couple of seats right around the finish line or maybe a little past it, back to figuring he'd go. As he went, grandpa would always point out the horses that had won recently or looked like they were due. "I have a feeling about this one" he'd say.

    Once upon a time, a 18 year old named Juan was going to work in his father’s vegetable market. Juan always goes to help out his father no matter what. Him and his dad moved to Jerusalem from a village in Jordan. His mother had passed away from a wound infection. His father didn’t have enough money for medicine, so that’s why she died. They moved so they wouldn’t struggle anymore, and so they can live a different life. Juan is a very helpful, nice, intelligent, and had a very prodigious heart . Everyone in Juan’s village liked him, but his bullies, John and Josh, just hated him. They always bullied Juan on a daily basis just because they were jealous of how Juan was loved by everyone. While Juan was helping out his dad, Juan and Josh went to his dad’s store and Josh started to say that he and Juan’s girlfriend Emily were in love and that Emily didn’t love Juan anymore. He was just ignoring them because he knew that it wasn’t true, so he continued on working.

    Eulogy for Son William was a very special person. His good qualities are endless. Since he was just a child, I always remember William sticking up for the family. When his sister, Lisa, was a baby, William would sit outside her room with a mask and cape on, ready to rescue her in case she started crying. And, if William’s father or I were making too much noise, he was always quick to fly downstairs and tell us to keep quiet so as not to disturb his little sister.

    Eulogy for Son First, I would like to say thank you for the tremendous outpouring of love and affection from our community at last night’s viewing for John. Roger at the funeral home told us this was the largest turnout he could remember. Close to 1,000 friends—and many people who were merely touched by John’s story—waited up to four hours in the rain to pay their respects. We want you to know how very grateful and very touched we were by the response.

  • Personal Narrative: Pastor Furtick

    Hope your week is going well, the reason I am writing this email to you is to express my thought about something. The other night at our Volunteer Christmas party, I introduced you to my husband Kirk to you and I committed to my husband you had met our son Kody, you referred to Kody as a “Church boy”. My husband and I both laugh, But the truth is, I could not stop thinking about why I introduced him to you, and John Bishop, and many other Elevators. It’s because who he has become and Elevation -Pastor Furtick has had 100% effect on my son and I credit GOD and Elevation for where he is today. My son had an opportunity to meet Pastor Furtick last summer and talk with him and express the impact his decision to do into ministries was because of his influence.

    Today, the most difficult day in my family’s life, we gather to say farewell to our son, brother, fiancé and friend.  To those of you here and elsewhere who know Dylan you already are aware of the type of person he was and these words you will hear are already in your memory.  To those who were not as fortunate, these words will give you a sense of the type of man he was and as an ideal for which we should strive. My son has been often described as a gentle soul.  He was pure of heart and had great sensitivity for the world around him.  He had a way with people that made them feel comfortable around him and infected others to gravitate toward him.  Dylan exuded kindness and pulled generosity and altruism out from everyone he touched.  He was everyone's best friend.

  • Eulogy for Mother

    2087 Words  | 5 Pages

    I, of course, knew my mother as a mother. As I have reached adulthood and become a mother myself, I have also known her as a friend. My mom shared much of herself with me, and I saw sides of my mother as she struggled with her cancer that I had never seen before, especially her strong belief in positive thinking and the importance of quality of life. I was privileged to know so many facets of my mother, but certainly I did not know all. There were parts of her life that I didn’t see, relationships that I didn’t know about. Last night, at the wake, so many stories were told to me about my mom’s strength, courage, humor, kindness, her quietness, her loyalty as a friend. It was so special to hear of these things that my mom said and did, to know some of these other parts of her life. I hope that her friends and family will continue to share these stories with me and with each other so we can continue to know and remember my mom.

    First thing is that you’re honestly going to be one of the best dads out there and your son should be static to call you his dad. Mr. Hopkins I have received wisdom and knowledge from you to succeed in life in whatever I set my mind to. I am so grateful for your presence. I have never felt this strong of a connection with any other teacher, adult, etc. Every conversation I have ever had with you has made me want to come back and keep talking with you.

    I have a picture of him and me smiling like a pair of goofs hidden sound and safe in between the pages of my one of my favorites books. I don’t have the courage to look at it. The thought of missing him even more terrifies me as much as it draws me in with hopes of reviving, once again, the memories of that day. No, our relationship isn’t over. We didn’t break up.
