Eulogy x3

Eulogy 1: What you think actually sums up your life

Stacie was a very smart person with a natural proclivity for academics. She strived to make great marks in all of her educational endeavors and succeeded most of the time - insuring a source of pride for all who knew her from these efforts.

I knew Stacie to be a very honest person. Often times, she would make people refrain from speaking ill towards others that she knew of around her. I guess she just didn't have it in her to listen to other people speak disrespectfully about someone else. She refused to lie. She lead by example, showing us all how to be better and how to benefit by being truthful to ourselves.  

Stacie was a very loving person and committed to helping others. In fact, one of her shortcomings stems from this. Stacie  oftentimes became confused by the blurred line between professionalism and just flat-out caring too much for a person in her day to day occupational duties. She would bring her feelings for people she helped home with her- always wishing to be of more service to them, constantly empathizing.

I think the key defining trait of Stacie was her family ties. She viewed family as a source of constant strength and inspiration. Family was her world. She was constantly trying to build and grow her family. She made many friends over the course of her life, each of which came to know and love her in their own special way. And in turn, she made these people feel like extensions of her family. - loved, trusted, cherished.

In conclusion, all who came to love Stacie realized that she was a great and special person who gave them all every bit of herself - her love, her compassion, her strength.

Eulogy 2: What you fear could be written about you

Stacie was a positive person but spent most of her life in a struggle to find herself. Her childhood was checkered by love and rejection that reached into her adolescence and adult life. In her younger years, she often strived for approval and attention, but was often left feeling sad and alone. She did her best to hide these feelings but they would make themselves known throughout her childhood.

Adolescence was a tough period for Stacie. She lost herself in others and had to fight to find her way back to the person she wanted to be. She had many struggles and disappointments. She often found herself loving the wrong people and caused herself a lot of pain. It was also a tough period for her family. She made a lot of bad choices that affected those around her and caused worry and concern. She forgot how to love and isolated herself with her feelings. Adolescence was a battle that raged on for years, but she managed to overcome her obstacles and in her mid twenties she went back to school to find her passion in life.

Unfortunately, Stacie passed away just before graduation. With only 2 weeks left before earning her degree - tragedy struck. It was a quick and unexpected loss. We hope she felt little pain, but no one can say for sure what she was feeling. Stacie had grown a lot over the last several years, but we will never know what she could have achieved. She was a flower that was late to blossom, and it's beauty will never be revealed. 

Eulogy 3: What you hope could be written about you

Stacie was a happy person and always wanted to share that joy with others. Since she was a child she would always go out of her way to help others. There was one time when her brother didn't have enough money to go to Knott's Scary Farm with his friends, so she dipped into her 10 year old piggy bank and gave him most of her money. She didn't seek rewards, it was love that inspired her to help others. She could know you for a minute or ten years and she would still do everything she could to help if you were in need.

Her smile was sincere and her words were honest. She was passionate about life and being kind to everyone you meet. Throughout life she would donate her time and compassion to people who were in need. She has fed the homeless, volunteered at schools and hospitals, and inspired others with her kindness. Just knowing Stacie inspired you to be a better person. Was she perfect? Hell no. But she was true to herself and lived a life she could be proud of.

Stacie will leave behind a family that she cherished and loving group of friends and supporters. Although she is not physically with us anymore, her memory will live on in the hearts of all the people that she touched. We will remember her humor, her love, and her passion for life. We will remember that family means everything and those we love are family. We will remember that life involves struggles but you should never stop fighting. Stacie was able to overcome her early tribulations and dedicated her life to helping others do the same. She will always be loved, remembered, and missed.
