She keeps teaching

"To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; to leave the world a little better; whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is the meaning of success."` Emerson

This poem was used as part of the eulogy for my Supervisor Jane Lobdell. You would have thought it was written about her.
I aspire to have it be true about me as well.
Thank you Jane for guiding me, even after you've passed.
