Though  her  intellect  was  cultivated  to  an  unusual  degree,
though  her  heart  was  big  and  broad  and  her  standards  high,
we  could  all  boast  for  her  that  her  heart  was  human;  for

succeeded  in  imitating.    .    ..
Though  she  was  a  grand  woman,  the  little  things  always
received  careful  attention.  Little  courtesies  that  did  much
to  make  our  lives  sweet,  but  which  took  her  precious  strength
and  time,  were  always  thought  of  by  her.     .    ..
