One of our iSL interns (last three summers) passed away last Tuesday. She had liver cancer, but rarely told people because she wanted to live her life. She didn't want pitty. During coffee hour today we had a table dedicated to honor her. She was so involved in iSL her death hit the staff and students really hard. Both of her parents had passed, so iSL was her family. Friday night there was also a Greek Orthodox service (what she wanted). It was a beautiful way to say goodbye.
Life is fleeting. An Irish proverb was spoken at her funeral. Death shall find me living. This was true for her, let it be true of us.
