(thus speaks the school teacher vs. the Hippie [me...])

From thin to fat to thin again (now), from brown to blonde to brown again (now), from loving mother and wife to stern school disciplinarian then back to loving wife again and grandmother (now), she has been different things to different people, some good..., some not. What she has been best is an interesting and many faceted human being who has contributed along life's way.

And THAT matters!

What I mean to say, is that in the long view of her life, she has been a lot of different things, as well as different people from time to time... a darling and a devil, a daring and a dear heart.

But she has made a difference to a lot of children everywhere, especially her own. And not only to children! She can be proud when she faces her Maker (in the FAR FAR FUTURE), because she has done the job she was supposed to do with her life, to the best of her ability. And that is all that could be asked of anyone.

By helping just one along life's way, means you can make a difference. And she has...
