Goals- Eulogy
Knowing that my mother wouldn’t want me to cry is the only thing that is keeping me from it right now. My mom was an amazing person and I know she's going somewhere better than this earth that we all have to pass from eventually. My mother, Tessa was more than just a mom to many of us here today, her counsel and companionship was priceless. And as we look back on her life I hope we remember her as someone that will be remembered through the ages as someone that fulfilled all her obligations and responsibilities. When I think of my mom one thing that I think of is how she would always treat people with love. Even when she was busy she would make time for others to help and serve them. She was a good example of service to all those around her. We all can think of a memory with her where she lifted and strengthened others through her experience. She was a Christ like teacher and friend, and her influence on children was especially good.
Tessa was a dreamer, she loved to perform and be happy and you could tell when you were around her. She was very talented and liked to bring others joy through her abilities. I bet all of us here have seen her perform at least once in our lives and can all say she loved to dance and sing and she spent her time well doing it.
In my life personally I just want to acknowledge how great of a mom she was and how much she taught me about life through her silent example. I look up to her so much because she was never afraid to meet new people and teach them too. She was always teaching helping and lifting wherever she went. She was strong to her beliefs and always stood firm in her faith even through trials. In trails she was even more optimistic than in good times. Her faith never stopped amazing me. She truly led a life of legacy. I hope we can become more like her by following her example.
