I say leave them all be for now..
Patti has been nothing but supportive these past 10 years. Her eulogy was heartfelt and touching, and something RWR would have loved.
Ron Jr.'s eulogy was fine except for that one barb.
The barb was pompous and self-important, but then, the entire eulogy was. As I said in an earlier post, he affected a pose from the getgo that said, "I'm here to explain it all for you," only, lacking as he does the capacity to pull that off, he just came across as arrogant and smarmy.
The anecdotes he related were tasteless and inappropriate, and his insincerity when discussing his father's religious views was palpable.
If you can call that kind of performance "fine," remind me not to get speech lessons from you.

Eulogies are a hard thing for the family. A story that meant alot to you, might not mean so much for the others. At my Dad's funeral, my cousin told a story about the time my Dad ordered quail at a restaurant. You had to be there. I think the people may have interpreted the story as crude, but it was one of our families favorite stories and it was a comfort to hear it at that time.
