Thank you for sharing this contest entry about this amazing person with us. I know Tom was smiling down as this was shared with family and friends. His family will remember these words forever. Good luck with the contest.

This is a very touching and well written eulogy. I done a little public speaking but I've never spoken at a funeral. I think your friend would have approved of your speech. Well done.

This a very well written eulogy. From reading it, there is no doubt you cared deeply for your friend and that he lived a good life. I'm not a religious person, but I understand the feelings and outlook for peace in Heaven at the end of one's journey.
Good entry.

Excellent tribute to your friend. I think the best writing takes time and the telling is short like the Lincoln's Gettysburg speech. Of course it's also critical to ask for God's help. Good luck in the contest.

Thank you for reminding me of Lincoln's Gettysburg Address. To me, it's by far the greatest Presidential address ever given! I appreciate your kind words, your best wishes and, more importantly your reference to God's help. Thank you.

What a beautiful eulogy for your best friend of 37 years. It must be very sad to loss a friend like this and at such a young age. You did a good job concentrating his life rather than his death.
Well done and good luck in the contest.

I think we can count our true friends on one hand...Tom was one of those. Your words were very sweet and I genuinely appreciate your review and encouragement. Thanks!

This is a great eulogy for your friend. I agree that it's very difficult to condense a lifetime of friendship into two minutes, but you did a great job. I really like the metaphor of your final paragraph. I'm sorry for the loss of your friend. Blessings, and best wishes in the contest. Carol
