Good for your dad! I like that he spoke for his cousin from his heart, not accepting a generic version. For my MIL, the preacher had not known her and despite talking to her many friends at church and w. her family it was the oddest eulogy. He spoke vaguely of her faith, and her love of crossword puzzles, and that she baked great birthday cakes. The crossword she had liked doing them in the newspaper but she hardly loved them. It was part of reading the paper to her. HE ended w. something her oldest son had talked about bc he and his wife was writing a recipe book for the family recipes. Neal had related how they made Pimento cheese regularly and had it for lunch and how his mom said she liked it for lunch and he'd take her a container every week. Only to find out after she'd had another stroke and lost her filter that she didn't like HIS recipe for Pimento cheese.
