I recently lost my mom on Thanksgiving 11/27/08. I too felt "times during the last couple of months where I felt I just could not help or do anything". So your word gave me courage and confidence to provide a "eulogy for mom". I am not the one for words or very good at it that is my sister Diane; whom took care of my mom and was pretty much in control which I am proud of her and appreciate her for. Thanks so much for sharing this and again your mom is smiling down with pride.

I stumbled on your blog Googling people's felted sweater projects and I'm enjoying my stroll through your archives very much. Your blanket made from sweaters is absolutely gorgeous, by the way.

I just read your eulogy, and it was a good one. My sister, her husband, my husband and I all wrote and read the eulogy at my mom's funeral in 2004, and it was so hard - but such an honor too. I can tell you felt it was an honor for you to write your mom's. Thanks for sharing it. I hope the holidays weren't too hard for you.

I can hear you reading it and I remember the parts where people laughed and when you paused and when I could hear the most quiet, when people cried, everything. This was the best eulogy possible. I know that your Mom would have been very pleased with her representation in it and very proud of you. Love Sarah B Also - please note I am stealing it in the event that I am ever asked to give a eulogy. I will switch some stuff around, obviously - but I imagine you will want the $5.99 anyway.
