Thank you Luella,
there have been only two people in my life who had by far the most influence in shaping me into what I am today, and who also had a profound effect on my thinking and behavior; two mentors who were just stupendous human beings, and who were saturated with stalwart principles and integrity: qualities that are very hard to find in this day and age.
One saved my life, and the other was a source of moral strength.
I miss them both, more than words can say.
