I love the thought-provoking poem entitled "The Dash" by Linda Ellis (http://www.linda-ellis.com/the-dash-the-dash-poem-by-linda-ellis-.html) The poem describes a funeral. The theme of the poem is that we all have a birth date and we will all have a death date. These dates are not nearly as important as the dash between them. Our legacy is how we lived the dash.
This is certainly true for Wendy Tidwell. She lived her dash well. We learned much more about Wendy from those who spoke of her at her funeral today. Kind, pleasant, always making sure everyone around her was well were some of the comments. She was also noted for her sense of humor. All that eulogized her, spoke highly of her. My experience with Wendy has been the same.
I was grateful that time permitted Suzette and I to support the Tidwell family and attend the funeral. I am confident that Gary and other family members have been well supported.
