Crafting these eulogies proved to be a journey through raw emotion, driven by the strength I found in God and the values instilled by my parents. The experience was not only an honor but a testament to the profound impact they had on my life. Hebrews 11:38 and the double entendre of Psalm 17 serve as touchstones for their enduring faithfulness and generosity. By sharing this journey, my hope is to offer encouragement and inspiration, whether you knew my parents or are searching for strength in your own life. Come along as I pay tribute to my parents' incredible lives and invite you to be part of this journey.
