"Where do I being?" In conversation with my sister in Asheville this morning, she sadly informed me of Ms. Young's passing. Interestingly, she had been weighing very heavily on my mind these past few months and on my next visit to family in Asheville, I had felt the urge to try and make a point of connection with her, BUT I have missed that window of opportunity. I have nothing but the highest of regard in memories of her. She was influential in my life as a high school English teacher, where she left no "t" uncrossed and no "i' undotted as she articulated the joys of an English class to her students, always making it an exciting and enjoyable journey. I also had the good fortune to experience her musical gifts, as she directed the music at my home church of Flat Creek Baptist for a short period of time. She always inspired us musically to give our "best". A unique woman, she possessed only the best qualities of life. These qualities were infectious to all those that encountered her, always making you want to be a little better person, yourself. I am truly thankful that she was able to "touch my life". Blessings to the family! Your lives are surely enriched by such a wonderful wife, mother and grandmother!
