A Labor of Love: How to Write a Eulogy
"I made good use of your Eulogy Book. Don't know what I would have done without it. Judging from the comments passed along to me and my wife after the funeral service, I did a great job." --Joe N., via e-mail"I practiced writing out eulogies for two people who have meant a great deal to me: my sister and a long-time friend. It was a revelation to discover that both have been my mentors. What a gift!" --Carol N., Brooklyn Park, MN"I would like to thank you for your help. I delivered a eulogy at my friend's funeral and it went well. I didn't follow your outline word for word, but I'm sure what you have written played a major part in my success. Your idea of cluster outlining was very good. It gave me lots of ideas of what to write about. As you mentioned in the book, writing does help. Even if I hadn't been asked to deliver it, I would have written for two peoplemy friend's wife and myself." --Steve P., via e-mail"Just a note to let you know that, not only did I receive the booklet, but found it extremely helpful, friendly, respectful, and full of good ideas. Thanks so much for doing it. --Laurie P, via e-mail"Just wanted to thank you again for being there. My grandmother passed away the day after I received your book. I gave the eulogy and her funeral in New York last Monday. It was amazing...everyone was so moved. I could never have done it without your guidance and kind words." --Robyn A., via e-mail"Thanks for the book. We were notified tonight that the services were moved up from Saturday to Thursday afternoon. The book is even more important than I originally thought. Thanks again for writing it. It is seldom that we would even think of needing such material." --Doug W., via e-mail"Thanks so much for making the Eulogy Book available over the Internet. This was my first time to prepare and deliver a eulogy and the book was a great aid in organizing my thoughts and putting them down on paper.  It wasn't easy.  I'm sure it never is.  But the book certainly made it easier for me." --Michael B., via e-mail
