As the evening progressed, we had to change the pace, |
Every morning began with Roz getting her mother up, dressed and in a wheelchair, then going off to teach classes, grade papers and write for the newspaper, |
I remember on that occasion, Roz invited a group of friends to gather around a festive table for a meal, with flowers, wine bottle and a portrait of Edith as the centerpiece. |
If we were to follow the format of Edith's memorial service, we would be here until next Wednesday, |
Roz had a great gift for joy and a capacity to bring other people into it. |
We are hear to celebrate, and I mean celebrate, the unique and wonderful life of Rosamond McPherson Young. |
