This to me is a perfect way to reflect on the life of my amazing friend. Xx Not, How Did She Die, But How Did She Live? Not, how did she die, but how did she live? Not, what did she gain, but what did she give? These are the units to measure the worth Of a woman as a woman, regardless of her birth. Nor what was her church, nor what was her creed? But had she befriended those really in need? Was she ever ready, with words of good cheer, To bring back a smile, to banish a tear? Not what did the sketch in the newspaper say, But how many were sorry when she passed away?
