A memorial tribute
It was a line in a death notice, but it made me smile.
Barbara Hoffman, formerly of Rochester, more recently working as an English professor at Marywood University in Scranton, Pennsylvania, died at age 65.
The notice listed all the usual details about relatives, burial, a memorial Mass, and so on.
But it included: "In Barbara's memory, read a book or poem, savor beauty, live life deeply with gratitude for all God's gifts."
What a great tribute.

Ms. Hoffman taught us to "squeeze every last drop out of life".
Without a doubt in my mind, I can tell you that's just what she did until her last breath. I intend to do the same. You should, too.
Rest in peace.
