Eulogy for Daughter :: Eulogies Eulogy

encomium for DaughterI would like to thank you totally for coming to Arlyns funeral. I am truly touched that you care enough to show your realise for us and your respect for Arlyn this way. During the past few days, many of our peers and family have pay back to our home to show their love for us and for Arlyn. I have been especially moved by the fact so many of her teachers and principals have shown up and cried with us. I am also touched by the love her youthful friends had for her. Our memories of this sad time in our lives will therefore not all be bad. But now, I would like to talk with you a short about my daughter, Arlyn Maria Johnson, who was born on Wednesday January 12, 1980 at Archbold Memorial hospital in Thomasville, the most beautiful little girl I had forever imaginen. On Wednesday, August 7th, Arlyn ate lunch at home, acting normally. I noticed she didnt eat a lot, but it was no big deal. Afterwards, she showed us a dress she had bought, presumably to wear in Misty Smiths wedding. Then, Arlyn give tongue to she wanted to go visit friends and left the house. A few legal proceeding later, 3 miles from our home, Arlyn held a rifle to her head and pulled the trigger. She left no note. How does a child who seemed to have everything going for her end up this way? Arlyn had a family that loved her infinitely. She was beautiful and intelligent her sense of humor was remarkable. Arlyn was kind, a friend to anyone who would let her into his or her life. She had a part-time job as a waitress at Quincys, which she enjoyed. Arlyn had accepted admission to Tulane University in New siege of Orleans and the week before she died, she shared her schedule of fall courses with me enthusiastically. I reviewed these facts everywhere and over in my mind, trying to discover why she would not see how lucky she was, but I could not find an answer.From the time she was a little girl, Arlyn has brought joy and laughter into the lives of others. When she was litt le, she sucked her thumb. She was nurturing she carried her teddy bear with her everywhere. One of her superior pleasures was dressing up in beautiful long dresses she dreamed of be Miss America one day.
