"How do you measure a human life? Is it by the length of time it spans, the number of people it influences, or the number of good works it accomplishes? Surely it is a combination of these things, and probably others. There are those who live long and do little. There are others who are taken away just when their power for good is at its zenith. Then there are those few rare individuals who live long and useful lives that leave a mark on mankind for generations to come. He is truly blessed who finds the pattern on life that starts with usefulness in the early years and then is privileged to live on with health and the ability to serve in many ways. Such individuals tower above the crowd and set a mark to which others can aspire. Such a life has both length and depth/ Such a life we honor today.
