Reflections

Perhaps the greatest compliment one can give is to speak at one's funeral detailing how that one person touched not only your life but others as well. I've done such a thing four times in my life thus delivering three eulogies. And then again, perhaps the greatest compliment one can give a person is to write about them while they are living in which case, I have done several times. Here is a collection of selected poems and the three eulogies I delivered. The other speech, one I gave at my Grandma Barbara's funeral, I did not write. Although I wrote a speech for her funeral, I did not say one word on the paper and instead just spoke about a great woman in whom I thought the world. Being that I cannot duplicate what I said at her funeral, I don't think it right to give that speech here. I mostly forgot about these poems but am satisfied with their words.
