Today's Quote: A Legal Secretary's Eulogy

By Lynne DeVenny

ADVERTISEMENTS

In addition to all that work required under her own roof - the cooking, the cleaning, the gardening, the wiping away of her children's tears, and the care of the dogs - Jill had long worked as a legal secretary, a demanding job she does with the kind of attention to detail that work requires if the attorneys these women work for are going to look as capable as they wish to look. So, in the words of that old song of female empowerment, "she brought home the bacon, and put it in the pan." ~ From "eulogy for Jill, by request" (ParadisePost.com)

Lest you be reaching for a tissue to cry for Californian Jill Hendrick, be assured that she's very much still with us (at least as of the date of this post), but asked the columnist (her brother-in-law) to go ahead and knock out her eulogy in case he dies before she does.

That sounds very much like your typical crackerjack legal secretary, getting everything taken care of long before it's actually needed.

It is a really good eulogy. Maybe I'll go ahead and draft mine, to make sure the dogs get included.
