Eulogy

For My Grandpa Baba, as I write this I cannot hold back the tears especially as you passed away in my absence. I was looking forward to finishing my masters and coming home to show you my certificate, as I know you would have being proud of me, but Alas death has deprived me of this. I am truly grateful to God for blessing me with a Grandfather like you, so peaceful, calm, loving and most especially God-fearing. It is amazing how much knowledge and wisdom you had. You taught me to always work…

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…

Mrs. Hulsey, How could I ever thank you enough for instilling in me a love of English so deep that it resonates within my soul? It’s not just what I do, it’s who I am! From keeping us from snickering too much about the loss of Juliet’s maidenhead to opening our eyes to a new society in “Animal Farm”, you bestowed upon us a sense of culture and credibility that will last throughout our lives, especially in that of a writer like me. I always knew that I wanted to write, but writing isn’t just…

My Grandpa recently died on the cold, snowy day of February 12, 2015. My heart was broken when my parents sat me down to tell me the depressing news. My grandpa and I shared a bond like no one else. I can remember going fishing early in the mornings while we ate our McDonald’s sausage biscuits. We watched wheel of fortune right before dinner when I stayed the night with my grandparents. My grandpa was such an amazing well-rounded person like no one I’ve ever met before. After his death, it…

Dear Jay Gatsby. As long as I have known you, you have always struck me as a stand-up person with a charismatic personality. You strike others as this ideal man and as someone who is the epitome of the American Dream. There are some crucial elements of life that you have failed to take full advantage of, or that you failed to reach, but one thing that defines your character very well is that you never give up on the things that you are determined to pursue. But although this aspect of your…

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…

Joyce Tillman, my mom, usually starts her mornings off by going to her knees and engaging in an elongated prayer. It’s something she does before anything else in the morning, to her it’s the start to her day, almost like a car needing the key to start the engine, the car can’t mover or function without the key, as my mom can’t function without her daily morning prayer. She believes that praying and putting things to come in the lords hands helps her to deal with what’s to come in her day at work…

I don’t remember the first time I ever met my pastor Columbus Hensley, but he was there the day I was born. Columbus is seventy four years old. His wife died of cancer many years ago. He had colon cancer many years ago, but he’s healthy now. He worked in a factory for a long time before he retired. He is an older looking man with white hair and he’s a shorter man, he always has a big smile on his face. I’ve known him all of my life. He has always been someone I have looked up to. He is the…
