Eulogize his talents–a good swimmer, great singer,helped needy children, contributed to charities with his money and time, and so forth. And his personality strengths, traits that reflect the positive–sense of humor, politeness, diligent at his work, and so forth.
Leave the moral distaste, and acrimony outside.

I’m weighing in on this, because I’ve been there and haven’t done that. If Julia isn’t comfortable doing this, she should refuse. if she needs an excuse, she can say she will be overcome with emotion and is afraid to stand up. There has to be a friend in the crowd, a man most likely, who has no issues and will do it ok.

Judy’s a professional writer, I’ve googled her. So maybe it would be easy for her. For regular folks like Julia and me, this is an awesone task, full of pitfalls. Say he was loyal to his childhood family, can she use that adjective LOYAL??? Can she say he was fun-loving? Tried to meet new people? Was full of surprises? Almost anything can be a double entendre. It’s a nightmare!!!

That widow is one classy lady. After all, there are no secrets here — everyone will know how the man died soon or late. OK, maybe as Julia suggests she’s not a genius, but still — a decent human being who deserves all the support and sympathy the lecher’s family can give her.
