I am trying to figure out the best way to write a Eulogy for my favorite
Uncle that just past away 2 days ago. Any tips, ideas or encouragement? I
need advise ASAP. The funeral is tomorrow, Sat. May 15. Thanks for any
suggestions.

Sorry, but this isn't the right place to ask for help on document contents; this
newsgroup deals with the technical aspects on using Word.

As Stefan says, we don't deal with content here, but my advice is to speak
from the heart. Tell the things you loved about your uncle, special things
he did for you or that you enjoyed doing together. Include some humorous
anecdotes, as these are always welcome at funerals. I've often attended
funerals for parents of friends (to support my friends even though I didn't
know their parents) and come away wishing I'd known the deceased because the
family tell such interesting anecdotes about them.

My favorite eulogy was one that was given for a friend's son who committed
suicide at age 16. His pastor told us a story about a funny scheme/scam this
kid was running with umbrellas. It was the first time I ever laughed during
a funeral. We often forget that the deceased wasn't always surrounded with
sorrow.

One week ago, I went to the funeral of my best friend's mother. He
gave the main eulogy, which was in part a biographical sketch, but
mostly reminded the extended family (there were cousins galore) how
she'd touched them. He was followed by his two teen-age nieces (his
sister, a professional musician, didn't say any original words of her
own, but played appropriate English horn selections), who told funny
stories about going to visit grandma.

So what you put in your talk depends on whether you're giving the main
eulogy, or whether you're just going to tell everyone how much he
meant to you in particular, with some especially happy memories.
