THE RIGHT WAY

Folks are born, live, and then die (no exceptions).

The "live" part between the "born" and "die" is where we have a shot to make an impact on the world and the people in it.

There are all manner of choices as to how we "impact" others during our journey thru life, but basically, there is "the right way" and "the wrong way".

The "right way" would include at least the following:

Impeccable ethical and moral standards

Lifelong kindness in all things toward others

Forgiving, loving, supportive parenting while providing a perfect example to follow

A lifetime of giving to others

Professional excellence, high achievment, and voluntary admiration from all contacted

A joyous sense of humor which is never at the expense of others

Maintenance of a youthful attitude perpetually

A gorgeous smile

The love of an older brother

Dearest Carolyn, along with my accurate, heartfelt description of you above, I wish you a long, joyous, rewarding (much deserved) retirement because you have clearly done it "THE RIGHT WAY"!

All my love to you,

frankie

If I may leave my 2 cents as well - Aunt Carolyn has always been someone for me to look up to - beautiful, kind and gentle. Congrats to her!
