Sunday

but I love this picture of her.

She donated her body to Syracuse University for teaching purposes for the medical residents.

They had a moving service at the chapel on the university campus several months after she passed, for all of those who donated their bodies within that recent time frame.

I sent this picture to the university to use as part of the display of pictures just outside the chapel entrance, of all of those people who donated their bodies.

It was all very moving and respectful.
