In later years after my school days , you asked me often if your girls knew that we were loved ~ we knew and we loved you too .I and I am sure so many others remember your 'Courtesy please ladies ' when we got rowdy ~ Thank you for your example and gifts to me and to so many of courtesy, grace, dignity , courage , and love
Of Courtesy, it is much less
Than Courage of Heart or Holiness,
Yet in my Walks it seems to me
That the Grace of God is in Courtesy.
