Mrs. Dunn kept an article in her wallet that fit Mrs. Dunn really well and the outlook she had on life. It read:
"No one has stated it better than Bessie A. Stanley, writer. She says: 'He has achieved success who has lived well, laughed often and loved much; who has gained respect of intelligent men, the trust of pure women and the love of children; who has left the world a better place than he found it, whether by an improved poppy, a perfect poem or a rescued soul; who has never lacked appreciation of earth's beauty or failed to express it; who has looked for the best in others and given them the best he had; whose life was an inspiration; whose memory was a benediction.' I wish the world could honestly write that on my tombstone." Author of publication unknown.
