I once had a female friend who was an inspiration to myself and many others. I met her when she was doing volunteer work at a homeless shelter in Gainesville, Florida where I needed to stay briefly.
She required a wheelchair to get around, yet she was one of the least handicapped persons I have ever met.
I was considering returning to Florida to visit her when I learned that she had died before reaching old age. I was able to partly get over my sadness by communicating that those of us who knew her needed to step up and do more to help fill the void of loving energy caused by her absence.
