Liz Cheney Offers Heartfelt Eulogy For Father
The former House Rep. from Wyoming opened her eulogy with a tribute to her father. As she closed her remarks Thursday, she remembered the last words her father said to her before his death.
“As my dad left this earth, his last words were to tell my mother he loved her,” Liz Cheney said.
“And now all of us who loved him so dearly, say to him: Good night, sweet Dad. May flights of angels sing thee to thy rest,” she added, quoting from William Shakespeare's ‘Hamlet.’
