It all comes down to good work.
The actors, the singers, the saints, the kings,the carpenters, the painters, the writers, the scientists, the athletes, we know and remember all of them through their work. For the under the radar parents we recognize them through their children's work, which is an extension of the parent. Our life's mission is a good work.
Well done.
Sincere condolences to the family.
