In Memory of
In Memory of
Mary Alsted Strange
She was our friend, our confidant, our leader..
The true sense of a woman....
These words of Emerson were hers...
Success
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 bit better,
whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition;
to know even on life has breathed easier because you lived.
This is to have succeeded.
Mary your life was a success. We loved you and will miss you.
But, hopefully we will learn from all you have taught us.
