I'm not certain that I've ever heard a eulogy given by a husband about his beloved wife. I'm sure that I may have, but just can't recall. Men usually pass before their wives (typically) and children of the departed most often do the eulogy. Yesterday we held a funeral for a wonderful young woman, who was loved by many including her beautiful children, siblings, extended family members, countless friends and of course, her devoted husband. He was a highschool classmate, always kind, and an impressive human being. He spoke to a packed St. Jerome Church, recounting his meeting of the departed and how their life was built through their love for each other and the love of their children. Impressive is not a good enough word...you could hear a pin drop in that church as the husband spoke about his wife with their incredible children looking up at him. He spoke about her the way men should...with reverence, admiration, love and honor. The departed deserved every bit of those descriptions and compliments because she lived her life admirably and was a good soul....as the Irish say "She was sent off proper"
It was a sad, yet beautiful day.
Rest In Peace

Many people came to our funeral home today to pay their respects to a man that was loved. Three people eulogized him, and all three spoke really, really well (awesome to witness). There was sadness, but a lot of laughter mixed in, as they described the departed: funny, loyal, present and always checking in on those that he cared about. He was a good dancer and the life of the party...the playlist of songs chosen to honor him was a throwback set that would take you to back to 1990 (incredible) Originally from Harrowgate, the departed had a strong group of childhood friends that came out to support his wife, mother, children and siblings. As I get older, I have come to realize, that no matter what neighborhood we came from, death of a friend brings people back to a place that is centered .... understanding that we are all connected, no matter our background. I'm an extremely proud Mayfair guy (being more proud is not possible)....but I can completely understand why these people from Harrowgate are just as proud of who they are and what they represent. It was a beautiful day honoring one of their own.

Rest In Peace
