Not sure exactly what this means...

Not sure what that is, but it sure isn't in the right place!

Euligizing...is that a word?

I sit here, waiting, watching, observing Leann's family in preparation of her Grandpa's funeral and service. All of the cousins put in some memories into a little piece of prose, but none of them want to read it. So now the older sister is editing the whole thing so she can read it.

I don't quite understand. The last funeral I attends the deceased's brother read a very moving prose without breaking down. I have not even experienced many loses but I recognize that these are days to remember and recall the life and times of a loved one. Why are you bickering about what to say!? Just speak from the heart!

I don't consider myself much of an orator but I have always found that "speaking from the hip" will let you say what your true feelings are without editorial comment. Funerals should not have editors because lives are full of good and bad, light and dark, and every oldies memory of a loved one is different. Embrace that.
