The best inheritance you can leave your kids is an example of how to live a full and meaningful life.
Dan Zadra
Editor’s Footnote: I find it more than ironic that the above quote happened to just “show up as the next in order.” It was on this day in 1984 that my mother went to be with the Lord. Nearly every day since that day, Dan Zadra’s words have rung true. One of the lessons is to realize that how you live your life will probably have great impact upon others. The other lesson is to cherish those in your life, for tomorrow is not promised.
