She Teaches ... She Touches ~*Marge Tindal*~  In memoried tribute of Ginger Michelle Chadwick Somewhere among her childhood pages she felt the dedicated call To tend the needs of those in seek wanting for them to learn it all~ What a gift she brought to them of knowledge and understanding Getting back more than she gave a wealth of love notwithstanding~ Impacting a life lasts forever It takes a special kind of touch One that comes back year after year beyond the halls of school and such~ A moment everlasting writ in pages of the learned mind Somewhere down the road of life a teacher's words are remembered as kind~ Delicate moments of sweet recall when she teaches ... she touches the lives of them all~ ~ ~Larry - this one's for you and your family~ ~Find comfort in knowing that her impact will live on forever in the students she touched~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

Marge, You always have the right words for all times. I know these will be long remembered by her family. Death comes not when we cease to breathe, but when we cease to dream. |

Margie girl darling heart sister this is so incredibly touching and heart warming. Only you could have written this so well and so truthfully too. You paint with words darling heart almost as well as you paint with love. The strokes of your pen sketch in the outline, then with your masterly use of words you bring the picture to life. Utterly utterly exquisite writing This is awesome darling heart and a wonderful poem from you I love it utterly utterly   Love and warm stuff As always Mushy  Breathe through the heat of our desire |

SuthernGal~ Oh, sometimes it seems that there just aren't enough words for moments like this~ As the mother of two who teach ... I do know that they will each leave their marks on the paths of seeking minds~ Teachers are so very special ... and Ginger's students have shared so much with Larry and the family~ She's so worth the remember~ *Hugs* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

Marge, How precious this is to me. Such an incredible gift you have given. And it keeps on giving. The tender truths you write are so accurate of my little girl. Thank you for being so thoughtful. Larry If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |
