Funeral Speech for Friend

I had the privilege of calling [Name] my friend. Some people come into your life and quietly make it better, and that was [him/her/them]. We shared [a memory, e.g. countless late-night talks, weekends away, jokes only we understood]. [He/She/They] knew my worst days and stood by me anyway — that is what real friendship is. [Name] had a gift for [a quality, e.g. listening, making everyone feel welcome, lighting up a room]. I am a better person for having known [him/her/them], and I am not the only one — look around at how many lives [he/she/they] touched. My friend, thank you for the years, the laughter and the loyalty. I will miss you more than these words can say. Until we meet again, rest easy. You were loved, and you will be remembered.
