cant help you much. when my parents die, i will be the oldest child and there is no possible way i could ever handle it. i wont even be able to sit in the church without having a breakdown

when my last grandparent died recently, my youngest cousin..i think 14..did it and read something that went on and on and on. it was however, very good and from the heart and touched alot of people. if the person meant something to you, i guess say what you loved about that person and give an example or two that everyone can identify with. i think reading it is just fine if its well written. good luck and sorry for the loss
