"Actions speak louder than words"

This is where the text you have written, describing your loved one, comes in. Tell people who he or she were, the story of their lives, mention milestones along the road, write about the things they loved or hated, about their goals and dreams, their achievements and maybe also their disappointments, about their friends and family, their work and their hobbies, anything you feel is worth remembering.
