She lived to a ripe old age

Over the weekend, Olivia de Havilland passed away at the age of 104.  Nice long life, huh?  One of the things we always measure about people is how long they are here.  The obituary says "She lived to a ripe old age."  But wait, there is so much more.  "She was a kind and loving person."  That is what we all should work toward.  It's not the how long that should be important.  I have always been encouraged by those wonderful words from Pippin:  "And don't you see I want my life to be something more than long."
