oh, soda darlin', sounds like you've been through the wringer lately.
i'm sorry for your loss.
i had to speak at a funeral once. i didn't know what to do then any more than i would know what to do now, but i remember someone saying that it was okay to cry while i was speaking. so i did.
it's an opportunity for you to illuminate a relationship that you're going to miss pretty sorely, so just highlight the most salient aspects of that relationship: humour, tenderness, respectful antagonism... whatever they might be.
and go ahead and have a stiff drink (but certainly no more than two) before you get up there.
