Along the lines of the Jobs speech, this link is to a speech by Carnegie Mellon professor and alumnus Randy Pausch who was diagnosed with a terminal disease and wanted to deliver one final lecture. This passionate oration, while directed to students and faculty, was actually written for his family. There are many passages that can be excerpted and used more probably in writing classes, although I am sure somewhere the written text appears. You can purchase the DVD for a nominal amount through Amazon.com.
P.S. Not sure if the "Link" feature works, but here is the link, or you can Google "Last Lecture" and find it
