Without the support provided by this book I could not possibly have done so. I offer you my sincerest thanks for the support given by the book.

When the time came to write a eulogy for my dad, I had all the background information I needed. What I lacked was knowing what the eulogy was supposed to accomplish, how to organize my thoughts, what to write about and not write about, and how long the eulogy should be. The book answered all these questions.
The suggestion of having a cold glass of water handy during the delivery was very helpful. I nearly lost it at the end, drank the cold water, and finished the eulogy.
The book almost did not arrive before I had to write the eulogy. My advice is order the book well in advance of when you need to use it.
This 96-page book includes sample eulogies of famous people such as Mohandas Gandhi, John F. Kennedy, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Itzhak Rabin, Jacqueline Kennedy Onasis, Princess Diana, and others. These alone make interesting reading.
A Labor of Love also contains a section of appropriate poems, a discussion of the healing power of writing, and a description of a concept called, "The Living Eulogy."
