I need some input from some of you great writers Please?

I was recently asked to write something for a dear freinds wake. She is someone who stayed with us for a few years, when she ws in her teens. Just 24 years old, she ws found recentlym murdered!

Please give me help with this, she was very special to all of my family!




If I knew today would be the last time I got to see your smiling face.
I would call you back for a hug and kiss before you walked away.
I would tell you how I loved you, then tell you once again,
Because now I know tomorrow for you will never begin.
Your beautiful life was taken, at way to young an age.
If I had known that it was the last time, I could hold you close.
To say How much I loved you, and that I wished you did not have to go.
I would hug you close to me, then hug you close once more,
now that I know what would happen, after you walked out the door.
I do not understand it, Guess I never will, I have no answers to give.
WE are left with but memories of You to help us carry on.
Of happier times together, of your smiling face, your heart filled with a song.
WE pray this will be enough, to help us get through the days.

Now we will entrust you, To God's loving arms. Pray his angels surround you.
To keep you safe from harm.
WE for sure still love you, Just wanted you to know. We will take care of your children, because you had to go.
We will hold them close and tell them, How you loved them so.
How our hearts are grieved that you went away to stay. We'll hold you close forever and a day.
We are gathered here beside you now, to say our last goodbye.
WE will try to be strong, forgive us if we cry! For you see our Hearts are heavy , With the task before us, to live with out you here.
WE see your children as they shed their tears.
So rest quietly Heather, in your special place.
And wait there for us, Beside Heaven's gate!
WE love you Heather Renee!

If this is the eulogy you have decided on and it is from your heart it will always be good enough. I am sorry for your loss.

You loved her and your writing shares that in a way that will embrace
each of you as the memories unfold. I am very sad for your hearts and that she is not in presence with you. A brutal act that has changed everyone forever. Take care, just hold each other as often as you are able.

Yes, honestly... a great writer doesn't make a great written work. No, rather, it's what comes from the heart... emotions are the driving force for which writing is simply the brush, and words simply the colors, painting the picture your heart is speaking. Yes, I think you should not change a word, unless simply grammatical or spelling changes... nobody here will have the love for this person that you are using as a palette for your paint, so they are not properly equipped for your task.

In other words, it is beautiful the way it is.

Yes it is for her eulogy. Thank you. It was for sure written from my heart!

Today we laid Heather to rest! Yesterday she would have been 25 years old. My heart is so heavy with finding a way to live without her amoung us!

One of her sons sat with me at the memorial service this afternoon, and just lay over on me! It breaks my heart that I have no anwers to give this little one, who loved his mother so much!

There aren't really any words you could say that would make his world sane right now, just listen if he wants to talk and let him know it is okay to cry for a loved one now gone...I will pray for all of you that you will find some peace.

I stand silently by her grave,
Can you hear the echo's of my heart,
Which lies bare, Thoughts race in and out of my mind.
Wish with all I have, for more time!

Questioningly, I stare at cold dark stone,
Weeping at having been left here all alone.
With only memories to fill in time.
Longing , hoping, for a better place,

Where Mother's never go Away!
