The Life That Was Lived To The Fullest First, let me start off by saying, It’s my pleasure to be able to give her Eulogy. Allie and I promised each other at the age of thirteen that we would go at the same time, so that we would never be alone. But you know Allie was always competing, and she had to be the first one. That little jerkface, always having to one up me. Allie was a kind and giving soul, always willing to do things for others. At the age of thirteen she had gone and helped out at a soup kitchen for the elderly on Thanksgiving. She was always there to have your back. If you needed someone to make you smile, you’d look at Allie and she would give you the stupidest face in the whole entire world. You couldn’t …show more content…
She never really had anything planned, or never really needed to be anywhere. Allie loved the rush of pop up shopping sprees or late night movies. It gave her a shot of adrenaline every time something unexpected came up. She was always down to hang out and spend time with her family and friends. Now don’t take her for granted, she wasn’t a pushover or anything like that. If she knew something was wrong and that she shouldn’t do it, she wouldn’t. She had a good common sense and good refusal skills. She was the responsible and fun friend that everyone wanted to hangout with. All of her life, Allie had the wildest imagination you could ever think of. She was always off on some island waiting for her true love to come and rescue her from the fire breathing bubble pig. Once she had this weird phase where she actually believed that she could learn to fly. I have a poem here of something she wrote when she was 15ish, she had never given up on trying to learn to …show more content…
Always laughing and having a good time. By now at fifty Allie was still a handful, always talking and not paying attention. I will never forget the time when she ding dong ditched a house for her 50th birthday. Golly! Even at fifty that girl could move! I swear how fast she was moving you’d think that she was flying. People were amazed! I admired that about her. She was never failing to do the impossible. My Best Friend, My partner in crime, the Who to “ Who did it?”. She had made such a great impact on my life. I will forever cherish the memories that we had together. I can’t wait to see you in heaven. But for now I will blow a kiss, and think of the beloved memories we had as
...ch other, and sometimes you cannot help how you feel about another person regardless of their social standing, and because her mother exposed her to her previously feeling for a labor worker, I believe it made it easy for Allie to make a decision about whom she wanted to spend the rest of her life with Differences and Complementary Needs. Because her mother presented herself as being equal to her daughter, it allowed Allie to ease up, and become empathetic to her mother’s feelings.
mere escape from the present. This is a direct result of the strife Allie’s death left on

When Anne first began to realize how the white people really treated the blacks, she had a sense of hopelessness, and anger. But she came to understand that it's not hopeless, and no matter what challenges she was facing within herself, her mother or with the outside world that civil rights for all, was worth the fight. She overcame natural obstacles that all teenagers face as well as ones that were racial motivated. "That summer I could feel myself beginning to change. For the first time I began to think something would be done about whites killing, beating, and misusing Negroes. I knew I was going to be apart of whatever happened."4

When looking back over her life, so far, she says not a bad life. Then again she’s not done yet and hopes to have another good ten years. I leave you with her life’s message.
The poem “Annabel Lee” by Edgar Allen Poe is a beautiful story that outlines events that happened between the speaker and his love. The story paints a mental picture of a love that is so strong that angels become jealous and take Annabel Lee away from the speaker, but even though she is gone, his love for her never ended. The story is full of imagery that leads to the central message of the story, which is love.
In spite of many fears and emotions love can bring, true love can conquer the impossible. In the words on Nicholas Sparks, “We fell in love, despite our differences, and once we did, something rare and beautiful was created. For me, love like that has only happened once, and that’s why every minute we spent together has been seared in my memory” (Sparks, 1996). In The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks, Noah Calhoun is reading to his wife, Allison Nelson, from his nursing home. He suffers from cancer and severe arthritis in his hands. Noah tells the story of the lifer they shared together. It was filled with joy, tears, arguments, and most of all, the feeling of love that didn’t dimmed throughout the passage of time, but only got stronger. The prevalent theme in this book- love conquers all, was expressed by Noah’s determination and persistence of not giving up on Allie, her leap in faith, as well as Allie’s progressive disease- Alzheimer’s.

I would like to thank you all for coming to Arlyn's funeral. I am truly touched that you care enough to show your support for us and your respect for Arlyn this way.
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.
Van Houten, I’m a good person but a bad writer. You’re a bad person,but a good writer. I think we’d make a good team. I don’t want to ask you for any favors,but, if you have the time(and from what I saw you have plenty please fix this for me. It’s a eulogy for Hazel. She asked me to write one but I’m trying,I-Ijust… I could use a little flair. See, the thing is, weall want to be remembered. But Hazel is different. Hazel knows the truth. She did ‘nt want a milllion admirers all she wanted was one.Maybe she wasn’t loved widely,but she was loved deeply. And isn’t that more than most of us get? When Hazel was sick, I knew I was dying, but I did not want to say so.She was in the ICU when Isnck in for 10 minutes before I got caught. Her eyes were closed, her skin pale, but her hands were still her hands.Stilll warm and her nails were painted a dark black-blue color and I just held them.And I willed myself to imagine a world without us,and what a worthless world that would be.What else ? She is so beautiful.You don’t get tried of looking at her.You never think she’s smarter than you because you know she is.She is funny without ever being mean. I love her. I am so lucky to love her, Van Houten.You don’t get to choose if you get hurt in this world, old man, but you do have some say in who hurts you.I like my choices.I hope she likes hers. Okay Hazel Grace?” Hazel says
I’m going to miss her, so much. Eventually I will be able to remember her without breaking into tears and see the good times we had. I know that I had to write a happy story, but I needed to write this. I read that this was good for getting out of the grief. So this is my first step out of the sadness The one good thing about losing a friend, even a best friend, it’s that you can always make more, and that is pretty neat.
Allie was from a wealthy family. Noah was a poor Miner boy. It did not take long for the two of them to become inseparable and fall madly in love and was soon forbidden to date Noah. Her parents thought their daughter deserved someone better, someone from a good upbringing. Before the summer ended, Allie's family forced her to return home. This was her mother’s way to separate them. Allie was taken away without telling Noah she had to leave. Allie and Noah were devastated. Noah continued to write Allie letters every day, expressing his love for her. Allie never received any of the letters, her mother hid them from her even though she continued to love Noah.
