For me, growth as person, mentally and in maturity has always been a center point. It has been achieved by maternal guidance, tough love, and reassurance like none other. My family is my harness. If all confidence was lost, all backs were turned, and fear were in my heart, I know, without a doubt I would have my family to lean on. Countless lessons I have been taught and countless lessons I will learn, for that is what has shaped me. My mother has always been a fighter, she never has let obstacles stand in her way, which I took notice to. I admired that in my mother. She’s been a mentor to me. She has lead me down a path that has taught me that if we want to have a better life we on our own must help ourselves and others on the way. My …show more content…

I could write a never-ending ode to this man that I love so much and who has taught me what unconditional love is. My father has never let me down. He always tells me how proud of me he is and lets me know that whatever I want to do in life or achieve that I can do it, no doubt. I think that is important that he has told me that, because when I’m doubtful he lifts me back up and it gives me a feeling of reassurance that even if I were to fail that he’ll still be by my side and he’ll still be proud of me. The sense of security, of having someone there for me lets me know that there is faith in what I’m able to accomplish. I don’t fear failure because of that. He’s also told me to always keep faith in him. To know that he will never turn his back on me and know that there isn’t a possible thing I can do in this world that would make him hate me. I truly trust what he told me. What he has told me has given me poise and has helped me achieve an education, a passion for cheer, and brave
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.
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:
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.
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.
Good morning. Joe and I thank you all for coming to celebrate our son Mark's life.
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.
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.
I stand before you today to pay my last respects, and to say my final goodbyes, to my father Harry.
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.
I kneel in front of the grave marker, both knees on the ground, then I lower my head enough so that I show my submission and willingness to receive any judgment that my God, Virtue, may see fit to visit upon me. Then I touch my palms together and close my eyes, so that God's dearest daughter, Grace, would not be seen by these unworthy eyes, should my prayers be answered. In this position, I solemnly pray for the souls of both my parents to have found peace in the after-life. Many times I have been told that my father was an honorable man and surely he was welcomed in the heavens with open arms and the few faint memories I have of him confirm this.
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.
The first reason why my mother has shaped me into the person that I am today is because my mother wants me to become a good woman. My mom teaches me to be a responsible young woman. For example, my mom asks me to do chores around the house for her. This has impacted me because my
So I hurried and got ready and my mom drove me to school and little sister step she tried talking to me on the way there but I honestly can't think of anything but right now I'm starting to think I'm in love I've really never felt love before other than this so I was not sure when my mom drop this off at the front door of the school we all got out of the car and a half my sister's then me and my mom got back in the car to take me to the high school which was just on the other side of the right she just didn't like me while heading across the red so she dropped me when I got to the school I saw my leave you a very happy and we're standing by all the popular girl. When she saw me and ran up to me to tell me that she made the varsity team I told her I knew
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.
All in all, my mother has had a great impact on my life. She encourages me to always grow and blossom into a better person each day of my life. No matter what happens in life, she has taught me to have faith and keep a smile on my face because better days will come. She’s been supportive and makes sure that I continue to prosper. Also, she has helped mold me into the young adult I am today and the success adult that I am sure to be in my future. My mother has greatly affected my life and for that she is greatly
