The Eulogy | Started by: Sal_Giaquinto on Mar 30, '09 19:09 |
The funeral home was grim, the clouds dark and gray, like Sal's salt and pepper curls. He was called to offer a few words for those gathered and he painfully began. "Those gathered had been inflicted a diverse loss, but in respect a mutual lost. The man in the casket - we know to be Fu-ManjuRourke. Some of you lost a brother, some of you lost a father, and yet some of you lost the dearest of friends. I have lost all three." "In life - some of us draw a circle, around ourselves - gathering friends and family to fellowship and partake in wisdom. Fu was always a steward of traditional morals and values. He was an anchor, a rock to be planted on or a latern to light the path. The steward might be gone - but the traditional morals and values he lived by, his friends and family honor his memory and live respectfully, the rock might be broken and cracked - but such will the birth to new stones and the latern might be extunished, but it's light is still hiden within our hearts." "Fu lived by the creed 'Today is a good day to die', but somehow when I stand here and look down upon him, I cannot think he would believe it as much now. - It's true that death is never dignified; yet some passings are more undignified, and it is a crying shame that a man, one whom we call: friend, brother and father, who possessed such vision and brilliance and granted such compassion, would be taken from us." Pauses for a moment - stubble from words amongst the tears. "The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: He leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His name' sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: For thou art with me; Thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies; Thou annointest my head with oil; My cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the House of the Lord forever." Whips a tear away and turns towards the casket. "Rest in peace my old dear friend, I'll be missing you." |
