To Honor and Remember Them

Mother Teresa and Princess Diana on the world stage; Terri Hrubes on the local stage with Blooming in Tioga. They lived, more than many of us, the quote cited at the end of this letter. Let us honor and remember them, and make this a happier world, by resolving to try a little harder:

To do good when we have the opportunity;
To resist temptations to do harm;
To thank people, while they are alive, when we see them trying.

A Stephen Grellet quote to live by: "I shall pass through this way but once. Any good therefore that I can do, or any act of kindness that I can show to any human being, let me do it now while I can. Let me not defer or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again."

I remember this from a 60-year-old newspaper masthead.
