Joyce White Eulogy For Grandmother

Improved Essays
Eulogy
It never occurred to me that I would be up here so soon, talking about my Grandmother, Joyce White instead of celebrating her birthday with her and talking about the good old times when I was a little girl. I remembered my Grandmother as a beautiful lady with long black dark hair, rosy cheeks and red lips. She was not your typical grandma who baked cookies, stay in the house all day and knit sweaters, she was a woman who enjoyed life to its fullest.
I used to remember when I was a little girl, I would love when my grandma comb my hair, she would plait my hair and when she is done, I would say to her, “Mama do not forget to fix my baby hair at the front with the brush,” she would smile and say “yes Kay, I did not forget.” She was a

    Eulogy About Dee

    • 188 Words
    • 1 Pages

    Hi I think like Dee most people do not know or care about their own family history. From an early age Dee fantasied of living a different life, she wanted more than what her mother could offer her. I believe this is why she denied her family because by denying her family she could deny her family history. I ponder if Dee wanted the quilt and the carved dasher to go with her new found facade, so she could brag that she inherit it from her ancestors.…

    To me my Michigan hero isn't just any average person here in Michigan but to everyone around them they were.

    Iconic Ms. Dorothy Day: Preface” There are fewer people that could recognize a problem or issue that plagues our society; contained by reason, internalize the situation without benefiting personally, answering and muster up the fortitude to attempt a solution. This notion was embodied by Ms. Dorothy Day. All around us are passionate, loving and concerned human beings, but almost never to a fault. Some people’s sacrifices are pretentious and selfish due to the fact that the person(s) sacrifice is for a friend, relative or acquaintance. To Dorothy, it didn’t matter because she helped everyone.…
