On further reflection, and back to the problem of the eulogy, I can see that the anecdotes route could be a minefield for you.
On the two occasions when I have "officiated" at a family funeral (we are non-believers and have non-religious ceremonies) I have asked people significant in the life of the deceased to write a short piece in advance, perhaps just one or two memories, which either I read out, or they were invited to.
You'd certainly be on safe and celebratory ground if you focussed on the children you have raised so successfully together. They will be a large part of the legacy that Tink leaves.
