Wendi Gu

尊敬的女士，先生们，各位来宾们，大家好 我叫李懿，是顾文娣女士的孙女。首先我代表我们全家向大家的到来表示感谢， 谢谢大家来送我的奶奶最后一程。 顾文娣女士于上星期二在医院里病逝了，享年90高龄。 我的奶奶是一位平凡，普通的人，但就是这样一位普通的人，用她无私的母爱和她的一生，为我们这个家和社会创造了无数的财富。她带给大家的快乐，成功，和喜悦是无法用语言来表达和形容的。奶奶她一生勤劳，朴实，勇敢，无数次，她用她的勇敢和顽强战胜了病魔的挑战，这一次，这没勇敢的她却没有再一次给我们带来惊喜，没有给医生和她身边所有的人一个惊喜，她永远的离开了我们。。。就在我再向她告别的时候，她的手，身体，还是软和的，她的脉搏甚至还在跳，她的嘴还在试图呼吸着最后一口气。我们都久久的不能明白为什么就连这么勇敢的人，命运却和她说再见了。连上帝也没有再一次的眷顾和保护她。奶奶的身体是离开了我们和这个世界，但我相信奶奶的灵魂永远，永永远远的和我们在一起。 俗话说的好，“家有一老，有如一宝”，我们失去了这个无法代替的宝，再多的伤心和痛苦都换不回奶奶的生命。但是我们可以以奶奶为榜样，做个好人，伟人。将她的勇敢，勤劳和朴实来替她铭记在心，我想只有这样我们才能告慰奶奶的在天之灵。 下面我简单的回顾一下我奶奶的一生。我奶奶有5个孩子，应为爷爷去世的早，是奶奶一个人把5个孩子养大和扶养成人的。奶奶不仅爱她的孩子们，连我们下一代也疼爱有加。 我奶奶比我的妈妈还要疼爱我，抱我的次数比我妈妈还多。从中国来到美国后，奶奶还是一如既往的关心和爱护她的子女，和晚辈们。随着年龄的增长，奶奶的身体不再想以前难么硬朗。为了不增添子女们的麻烦，小毛小病的奶奶从不向我们透露。在她80岁高龄时，还和我的爸爸，姑姑们一起早出晚归的。奶奶完全可以在家里享受天伦之乐，她还是坚持幸苦工作，任劳任怨。有好几次，我的爸爸和姑姑因为工作太忙，没有办法先送奶奶回家休息，奶奶只好一个人先到他们的车上休息一下，因为行动不方便，和天气原因，摔倒过好几次。我们看在眼里，疼在心里。奶奶从来不先考虑她自己，无论在家里还是工作，她都以别人的利益为重。 有她这么伟大的母爱，我们工作和学习才有了前进的动力。 奶奶，我想一定是累了，换了个地方休息了。不然的话，您一定不会抛下我们，就这样永远地离开我们了。。。 奶奶，请您一路走好。（这是我们所有人的心愿）我们爱您！如果有来世，请还作我的奶奶！！ 永别了，我敬爱的好奶奶。我知道您不会怪我，没有照顾好您，请接受我和所有亲朋好友的祝福，我们祝您安息，幸福，快乐
