Marshall's Memories

I never saw Shani unhappy. Who wouldn't pay through the nose to have that disposition, despite decades of ailments and surgeries! Such a fine character, is life itself. And after hearing how her sons dedicated time to learn with her, how much richer was her life. 

When I paid her a visit once at her home, she was surprised I was there for her, and not to see Mendy. Very humble indeed. But she was not meek. Her humility was intelligent. She was not humble in the least when it came to making others feel important. Then, she was courageous and confident in her words. She made us all center-focus with that warm, endearing "Shani smile!" She made us feel important, and happy. Why did she do that? Because she dearly cared for others. She loved people, not just relatives.

She never spoke bad about a soul. Shani was above petty issues. Who today is this true about?

There are few people I know of her caliber. I am fortunate to have her memory as an inspiration.
