Eulogy of Hannah Bernard

Hannah Bernard, although young when she passed on, made an impact on the world around her. She not only affected her family and friends, but also peers at her school, and even the occasional stranger. Her optimism rubbed off on many and although it took a long time, she died a fulfilled person.

Hannah loved to help others. Whether she was sending a surprise pizza to a
loved one or filling out a survey for a friend in need, she did what was in her power to make those around her happy. She believed that a healthy, successful community was very important for her and others sanity and she tried to show this by acting for others every day. She was human, but no one would accuse her of having anything but good intentions for everyone she knew. She thought that humans were overwhelmingly good and tried not to focus on the bad in people.

Hannah was most well known for her positive attitude. Many people close to her agreed that hardly a day passed when she didn’t try to find the good in a situation, in both her life and others. She did not always have a beautiful life, but none the less she tried to find the beauty in everything. She was always looking for the bright light at the end of the tunnel, a clear example of her optimistic outlook on life. It came as no shock when someone once told her she was too happy, which ironically, she didn’t think was possible.

Hannah loved to see new things. She loved to experiment artistically, whether it was with pen or colored pencil, and was happy when she was creating. However, she was happiest with people. Her confidence in humanity led her to get great satisfaction from others, whether they were her closest friends or strangers on a stage. Her excitement for life will be missed.
