Hello, I would like to say a few words at my mom’s funeral service. I did not do so at my dads funeral because I did not think I could even make it through my first sentence before becoming a puddle on the floor. For those of you who had to do this, was it easier than you thought, or are there any tricks to try and hold it together? I am wondering if once I get up there, instinct will kick in and it won’t be a problem. Sorry if I don’t reply to what you have to say, but I will read all advice and am appreciative of it.
One trick my mom used:
She was often hired to sing at funerals and weddings. We lived in a small town so she knew a lot of the people. She was always afraid that seeing the family cry would cause her to break down mid song. She had poor vision so she would take her contacts out before performing.
