Eulogy Delivered by Liz Cheney at the Funeral of Vice President Dick Cheney - Nov. 20, 2025
November 20, 2025
Following your kids to talk about your dad is... not good scheduling. [Laughter] But distinguished guests, presidents and vice presidents, dear friends—my mom, and Mary and I, and our families—thank you for being here to honor the good and great man we loved so much. A few years ago, reflecting back on nearly forty years in public service, Dick Cheney said this: “The path I had traveled was partly due to the circumstance of my birth. Not that I had been born into a powerful or privileged family. I wasn’t. […]

Remarks on Charlie Kirk Shooting - Sep. 14, 2025
September 14, 2025
Aloha. In the book of Corinthians, Paul said, “Therefore we are always of good courage and know that while we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord.” We are of good courage, I say, and prefer to rather be absent from the body and be home with the Lord. Ultimately, for every one of us, the time that we have in this world is temporary. Our time will come, sooner or later, and so the critical question that we have for ourselves is whatever time […]

Remarks on Charlie Kirk Shooting - Sep. 14, 2025
September 14, 2025
Good evening, everyone. Good evening. Please be seated. Thank you so much. It’s such an honor to be here, behind a podium, I’m very comfortable behind podiums. And it’s really comforting to be around so many good, faithful, God-fearing people at a time when I know we are all still mourning, we are confused, we are angry over the assassination of a legendary American and a friend to so many in this room, and so many across the country, Charlie Kirk. The presence of God, and He is a good […]

Eulogy to Susan B. Anthony – March 15, 1906
March 15, 1906
We, the colored people of Rochester, join the world in mourning the loss of our true friend, Susan B. Anthony. Yes, a true friend of our race. Years ago, when it meant a great deal to be a friend to the poor, downtrodden race, Susan B. Anthony stood side by side with William Lloyd Garrison, Wendell Phillips, Lucy Stone, Abby Kelly Forster, Frederick Douglass and others, fighting our battles and espousing the cause of an enslaved people. Well do we remember the 12th of December last, at the centennial of […]

Remarks on the Death of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis - May 20, 1994
May 20, 1994
I just wanted to say, personally, that every day, this nation owes a great debt to Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. And the nation has lost a treasure, and our family has lost a dear friend. We stand here in one of the many legacies that she has given to this house and to our country; in this garden, which is named for her, which she helped to realize. If she taught us anything, it was to know the meaning of responsibility -- to one's family and to one's community. Her great […]

Eulogy for Helen Hamilton Gardner - July 28, 1925
July 28, 1925
Catt gave this eulogy at the memorial service for Helen Hamilton Gardner at Gardner's home, 1838 Lamont Street N. W., Washington, D. C. Catt and Maud Wood Park spoke at Gardner's request. The hardest task that any human being is called upon to perform is to stand by the side of a friend truly loved and pronounce that last, long good-bye. Ever since there has been a written language among men, the record has been preserved among all races that men have laid away their dead with tender care, and […]
