What is the true measure of a man - or a woman? Perhaps that he (or she), though never attaining any national prominence or presence on the world stage, just quietly and confidently went about living life. Raising a family, serving in their community, being a good friend/neighbor,and showing others that encountered them that there is virtue in just being a good parent and fellow citizen.
A good, long life has been lived and it recently, peacefully and quietly - faded away.

This world was a better place when they were both here - and it is diminished at their passing.
