Dear Elizabeth,


Writer Bernard Malamud said that life is a tragedy full of joy. In so many ways, he is right. You have to have determination and optimism - to see life, with all of its tragedy, as a joy in order to accomplish your goals in life. Mr. Malamud, in all his wisdom, also said that, without heroes, we're all plain people and don't know how far we can go.

You're showing us just how far, Mrs. Edwards.

The poet May Sarton said that one must think like a hero to behave like a merely decent human being. Your decency is a shining example of heroic thinking.

You are leading us to think optimistically - to think more like heroes - and as a result we'll not only behave as more decent human beings, but we'll know exactly how far we can go.

I consider you to be a symbol of real leadership and courage. You are such a caring person - a good and devoted guardian in every sense of the word - to your husband, to your children, to your country, and to each of us.

I send you my prayers.
You are my hero.


Jude
