Funeral speech
We were offered a few short minutes to deliver some words during the funeral so I put together and presented this.
Our dearest Gwen
As we say our farewells
we remember the love and the selfless devotion you showed to your family and to your friends.
As a mother you've were an inspiration, a shining light of guidance,
who encouraged your children to pursue their dreams and aspirations.
As a companion and friend you were a comfort, with an openhearted enthusiasm for life, and generosity of spirit.
Gwen, ever prepared with a word of sage common sense.
Gwen, the socialite, an astute judge of character, for whom the warmth and companionship of those around meant everything.
Slow to anger, quick to empathize, your loyalty and compassion reached out to friends and family alike.
