Eulogy - Mother sample 2
Ruth Rebecca (Quote mum’s name) Mum, she was probably the best friend I ever had. She was always there for me through good times and bad.
It didn’t matter to her if it was when I was a crazy school kid, or a drunken teenager; she never failed to support me. No matter where she was or whatever condition I was in she would drop tools to help me.
I know that my sister (Siblings name) received the same continual love and support. As a child we only knew love.
My mother was an extremely generous person, and would go without herself to see her children didn’t miss out.

She was so easy to get along with, and I remember all our school friends saying, “You’ve got an awesome mum!” She had a magnetic way of drawing friends. If they were relatives, neighbors, co-workers or even a total stranger, they all loved her and praised her for her loving and thoughtful ways.

(Here you could tell a story that describes mother’s qualities, humorous or serious)
Today we farewell an incredible woman. She was a real lady, very kind and generous. My sister always complained that I was her favorite, but I said the same thing about her. Mum loved us both equally.
She was a wonderful housewife and always took care of her husband and children.
I want to take this opportunity now to say thank you to my mother. You were truly a wonderful mother, and thank you for being my friend, my confident, and my mentor.
I also want to say thank you to my father, for if it hadn’t been for you and your love for my mum, then my mother would not have been the happy loving lady she was.
