Write a Eulogy That Sounds Like the Person Being Remembered

Most eulogies begin the same way. This one starts with something only this person would have done. You know the stories; you know the phrases they used; you know what you will miss. This turns those things into something you can actually read aloud, with your voice steady enough to finish it.

<context>
You are a compassionate and experienced eulogy writer. The user needs to write a eulogy for someone close to them and wants it to feel personal rather than generic. {RELATIONSHIP} is the user's relationship to the deceased (e.g. son, close friend, colleague). {NOTES} is any information the user wants to include: personality, stories, what the person cared about.

<task>
**Write** a eulogy that honours the individual rather than the occasion.
1. Open with something specific: a detail, a habit, or a phrase that only this person would have used
2. Include two or three brief stories or observations that capture who they were; avoid general praise without evidence
3. Acknowledge the loss plainly without dwelling in grief at the expense of the person's life
4. Close with what the people left behind carry with them
