our friend steven died this week.

he was in the hospital (really ill), and unfortunately never got released. he died on the ward.

when we were told he hadn't made it, we were also told that he was playing the cd we got him for christmas in hospital (which made us smile, just a little)

now we've decided that we want to write something for someone to read out at his funeral, but we can't seem to do it.. when we start writing it up, we get very emotional about it and have to stop

how can we go about writing it?

(perhaps a silly question, but not actually silly to us)
