I will not read from my prepared notes but rather speak from the heart.

Today I stand before you to share the loss of my beloved brown etcher slip on shoes. They were the first I pair I ever shared a life with. We walked together. We shared many laughs together. One time we were walking and the right one got stuck in the mud. It wasn't funny at the moment but we laughed later. We took a many a trip together. How grateful I was for them when shoe search policy was instituted. I am sorry my faithful companions that I snatched you from your eternal rest the first time. I just could not let you go. But I know that was and is selfish of me. I know that you have sacrificed for me and if I truly value you, I will let you go.

I think it will be a while before I can move on to another pair. It was just last night after all that I finally said goodbye.

Let's pause for a moment of silence....

Thank you

This is indeed a sad day. I know that you are in a better place, resting from all your labor. You worked hard in this life, carrying all my weight and issues. I really will you. And you will forever be in my heart.
