People say that death is just another part of life, and they're right. We all have to face it eventually. And we all know that with death comes feelings of loss and sorrow. But what people don't always say is that death isn't the end. While it is natural to morn the loss of a loved one we should also celebrate. Celebrate the life they lived, celebrate the beautiful memories they left us with, and celebrate the fact that they have left this world to spend a wonderful eternity with all the angels, saints, and God our father.
Eulogy from Thomas Mullen:
My Nani might not be here on earth with us anymore, but the memories she left me with are some I will cherish for the rest of my life. Memories of her giving me baths in the kitchen sink, chasing me around the house when I would try to eat butter out of tub, teaching me how to play cards and helping me put band aids on when her cat would scratch me. She was a strong and proud woman who loved dancing, food, cooking, playing cards, and arguing with everybody around her.
She may not have always been the easiest person to get along with, but she truly loved and cared for her family. Even when she was yelling at people I smiled on the inside because I considered myself lucky to have a grandmother as crazy and passionate as her. 10,000 weight in gold never feels like treasure until you lose it all. Though I miss her deeply I know that missing someone is a part of loving them. If you're never apart you'll never know how strong your love truly is. And I love her a lot. She always made sure to check up on everyone and I only pray that she continues to watch over us from heaven. I love you Nani.
