I am honored that I was asked to speak at my mothers funeral. She was a wonderful mother, sister, daughter, and friend. One thing I admired about her was her endurance and hard work. She was able to attend Brigham Young University with a full scholarship and then graduate with a Masters Degree. She worked very hard and it really payed off in the end. She also worked with the youth in our church. Although she knew how to work well, she also loved to have fun. I remember that while we were growing up, my mom would always make time for us. We would spend afternoons at the pool in the summer or skiing in the winter. She also did many small but sentimental things for us. I remember finding little notes with a treat for me in my lunch on countless occasions. I will always remember her playful smiles and jokes.
One goal that she was lucky to achieve was to travel the world. She always dreamed about going to ancient cities in China and gorgeous tropical islands in the Mediterranean. Dad always loved how she enjoyed to be in nature and experience it first hand in outrageous ways.
Our house was always filled with music. Whether it was from her soft singing voice with piano or playing the violin, mother was always able to lighten the mood and relieve you of stress through her music. Through her influence, I have learned to love and appreciate music and the effects it can have on you.
In closing, I just wanted to say that her heart was beautiful. She was always the first to lend a hand of service or an ear in troubled times. She was an amazing influence for good and was always able to make me smile. I am so grateful for all the times she just listened to me and offered words of comfort. I am thankful for all the times she has helped me in my life. Thank you.pr
