I happened to run across this on my friend's website today. I had no idea it was there. It really made my day!

It's amazing how something like this can touch your heart! 
Thank you my friend!
Thanks Lenn. I know that people can be remembered for many things, but to me being an inspiration is really #1. I am TRULY honored by this recognition.
Funny, I was talking to a friend the other day. She's a really nice lady, but one I feel doesn't really have her priorities in order. She tends to worry and sweat the small stuff and after several decades of mine, I've found that not having dirty dishes in the sink, or not picking up a pile of newspapers for one day, is definitely not first on my list. If given the choice to talk to a vet or vacuum my floor, well I'm gonna talk to my vet. If given the choice to work in my garden or dust my house, well, I'm gonna work in my garden. Not that I don't like a neat and pretty house, but let's face it, what do I want my epitath to be?
Marion J Chard, loving daughter, wife, mother and grandmother and a hell of a housekeeper

Marion J Chard, loving daughter, wife, mother and grandmother, historian and inspiration to many
Goes without saying and I told her so. What do YOU want to be remembered for? It's food for thought!
