Eulogy for Friend
An example eulogy for Friend that you can adapt — replace the [details] with your own memories and words.
[Name] was not family by blood, but he/she was family in every way that counts. We chose each other, and I would choose him/her again in a heartbeat.
We met [when / where], and from that day my life had more laughter in it. He/she was the friend who answered the phone at 2am, who told me the truth even when I didn't want to hear it, and who could turn an ordinary [Saturday / braai / drive] into a memory I would keep forever.
The thing about [Name] was that he/she made everyone feel like they mattered. Strangers became friends. A quiet room got louder. A hard day got lighter. That was his/her gift to all of us.
I keep reaching for my phone to tell him/her something, forgetting for a second that he/she is gone. But I know what he/she would say: "Don't be sad I'm gone — be glad we had the time." So I am glad, my friend. Grateful for every moment. Go well. I'll see you down the road.
