Eulogy for Melina Tomel - 4/1/2019
April 1, 2019
Eulogy for Melina Tomel, 31 year old single woman, who passed in her sleep on Mon, March 25, 2019, with the cause of death being undetermined at that time. Funeral Services were held in Smithtown, NY. Written and given by her father Ray Tomel, 71 year old retired X-Ray technologist and US Navy veteran.
Thank-you all so much for being here today.
There were pet names for Melina. Her mother called her, Blue Eyes. I called, Missy Moo. That came from the name of name of a racehorse, a filly called MissMooILoveYou, one word.
At about the age of 16 18, Melina started calling me, Papa G. Where did she get that? I still dont know.
But what do we her family call ourselves? There are labels for those of us who have lost dear ones. We use the terms, Orphan, Widow, and Widower.
However, there seems to be no name for her siblings or her parents. We as a society cannot even bear to think that parents can bury their children. It is against the natural order of things. Children are supposed to bury their parents, not the other way around.
Yet we know that children die every day, all over the world.
It has been said that in the Book of Life when your parents depart you close the chapter on the past. If you are misfortunate enough to lose a sibling, then your present has been changed. It alters your way of thinking about your life. But when a parent loses a child, they lose their future.
Yet how can the future be lost? Every day brings renewed hope for a brighter day. In this season of early spring when the world renews itself each day brings the promise of better times ahead.
So for those of us who loved Melina and who will never forget her, we look forward to that bright sunny day when we will meet Melina again and we hope and pray that she will be happy.
Now, however it is time to say, Good-bye, but just for now.
So just for now, Good-bye Blue Eyes. Just for now, Good-bye Missy Moo. Just for now, Good-bye my baby girl. Good-bye baby girl, for now, Good-bye.
