That is so beautiful.  Thank you, Dana, for sharing, and for going to the funeral.  She seemed to know during her Summer Institute that her time was limited.

Friends,

I went to Rose Keith's funeral this morning, and it raised up the impact our work can have on a life. First, a bunch of her kids from Santa Fe South were there, all sitting together. Inside the paper we all held was a copy of an epitaph Rose had written for herself as part of a writing assignment she had given kids two years ago:

She said
She wanted to be a pen in God's hand
A trustworthy pen,
that God would use to write about
His patience and His love on the hearts
of her family and students.
She had no doubs:
He is worthy of us all!


I just wanted to share this with you. 

Dana Loy
