I was inspired to do this video and to help people learn to write a eulogy when my father passed away in July of 2000. This video will help you write a moving eulogy for your brother.

At the time I didn\'t know where to turn for help in writing a eulogy and I didn\'t know the steps to take to make sure I did a good job.
