Richmond St. 733-5435 *Serving as would be Served* The Legacy When I die, give what is left of me to children If you need to cry, cry for your brothers and sisters walking beside you. Put your arms around anyone and give them what you need to give me. I want to leave you with something, something better than words or sounds. Look for me in the people I have known and loved. And if you cannot live without me, then let me live on in your eyes, your mind and your acts of kindness. You can love me most by letting hands touch hands and letting go of children that need to be free. Love does not die, people do. So when all that is left of me is love, Give me away. E.

She and her husband were able to help the local people in India by ridding them of the menace of marauding leopards.

She continued her education, which she culminated with a Ph.D. in English from the University of Wisconsin. She married Paul J. Nebel in 1962 and started another chapter of her life.
