Perhaps you spoke the kindest words as any friend would say.

Perhaps you were not there at all, just thought of us that day.

Whatever you did to console our hearts

We thank you, oh so very much from the bottom of our hearts.

Obituary

Helpful tips on how to write an obituary

• Full name of the deceased

• City and state of birth

• Parents' names --Some people only include these if they're still alive, but others give tribute to a deceased parent (ex: "daughter of the late John Smith").

• Activities--Include churches, clubs, organizations, volunteer groups, hobbies and other things that were important to your loved one.

• Vocation and places of employment

• Notable accomplishments

• Degrees and schools attended

• Military service

• Date of marriage

• Personality traits and anecdotes

• Family Members they leave to cherish their memory -- Children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren's names and residences--If this list gets two long, you can eliminate the names and locations (ex: "five grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren").

• Other family members (nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, etc.) and special friends-- Again, this can make your obituary quite long (and can get political if you include some names, but not others), so you may want to leave these people out unless you have a small family.

• Special pets

• Where people should make a memorial contribution. If you'd rather people not send flowers, tell them where they can make a contribution. Again, think about what your loved one, not you, would want.

PLEASE TYPE OBITUARY IN PARAGRAPH FORMAT, NOT IN BULLET POINTS and NOT IN ALL CAPS.
