Gratitude
Some words I would choose to share in the event I am attending a memorial service but I am unable to speak, or move about, or generally participate on any observable level.
Gratitude for Mr. Tux
What can I say about the companionship that a pet brings into your life. No, not a pet, a family member. Pure happiness is the reward for living with a pet. I hope I was able to give Mr. Tux a fraction of the love he gave to me.
Gratitude for Friends and Family
Thank you to all my Friends and Family here today, both physically and in spirit. Know that you have enriched my life and that I am truly grateful for that.
Gratitude for My Adventures
Simply enjoying the out-of-doors is as much as anyone can ask. Whenever I needed to find peace and confidence, cycling gave me what I needed. I cherished every day on the mountain and am thankful for all the challenges the mountains presented. The mountain, like life, holds secrets that can never fully be revealed, but the challenge to do so is always there. I’m grateful for those opportunities and for those of you who participated in the adventure with me.

Gratitude for The Love of My Life
I can’t believe how lucky I was to have found you. It started with a cup of coffee and some snow, and it grew into a dream come true. I am ever grateful to you for sharing your life with me. You have given me your best years and have made my years with you, my best years.
Gratitude for Everyone
Love and wonder don’t cease at the boundaries of who we know and what we have done. Everyday brings new joy, new experiences and new loves. May this day bring you peace. Be assured my love for all of you is unending.
