As they say, it's better late than never. I have written it as if I was speaking it at her funeral in 1970. I hope this page can honour her as a memorial to my very special mother. Writing it now, 48 years later has been an emotional trip down memory lane and a wonderful way to remember my mother. Because I was in such as state, I found it impossible to get involved in the funeral arrangements, let alone write a eulogy at that time. She had only recently gone home as she wanted to be in her own home when she died. She had been living with me for over a year while she was fighting cancer and I was looking after her. When my mother died in 1970 at the age of 64, I went into denial. I hope this eulogy which I have written for my mother will help you at a very difficult time if you find yourself trying to write one for your own mother.
