Today's Quote: A Paralegal After My Own Heart

By Lynne DeVenny

Mamma Nell was a paralegal who could spot a misspelled word or a punctuation error 10 miles away. It?s questionable whether this innate talent was passed along to her singular sons. ~ Dwight Dana, reporting for South Carolina Now.

You guys, I love a good obituary, and I don't think that you can say anything nicer about a person than that she can zero in on a grammatical error in a different zip code.

A paralegal for many years, Nell Breeden Early not only "earned her keep in life by having four boys" but "leaves behind, in deepest mourning, her best friend and loving companion, Henry, a yellow Labrador retriever."

I think you can tell a lot about a person by the survivors listed in his or her obituary. I'll leave you with another quote from an unknown author, "My goal in life is to be as good of a person as my dog already thinks I am."
