What a legacy she leaves behind! I recognize many of the same attributes in my mother - now in her mid-80s. She has been a model of life-long learning, much like your beloved Barbara. Everyone should be so lucky as to have this kind of influence in their lives.... Dare we ever hope to be that kind of inspiration to our students...?! Thank you for sharing such a poignant and inspiring story. Maryellen, your aunt sounds like a lovely person. What a legacy she leaves behind!
