The eulogy, with a teleprompter

Four to six minutes at speaking pace, with pause marks. Read it from your phone.

Good morning. I am Ruth, Margaret’s daughter, and I want to tell you three things about her.

Every morning she was in the garden by six, in her robe, talking to the tomatoes.

She said they grew better for it, and we have no evidence they did not.

Waste not, want not. She said it about leftovers, about time, about second chances.

When the Alvarez family moved in next door with nothing but a car, a casserole appeared on their step every evening for two weeks.

She never once knocked.

She noticed people. That was her whole gift.

Two weeks of casseroles and not one knock. We never forgot it. We will miss you next door.

Mom, the tomatoes are in. I talked to them, like you said.
