And when this happened, all my stage fright fell away. Not a dry eye in the audience. A eulogy is a special kind of speech, in the sense that you only get one chance. I have zero regrets over what I said and conveyed to my audience; I wouldn't have changed a thing. Thank you so much, Eric for teaching me how to make my heart speak.
