This world is full of sick people just like Ms. Smith and Ms. Tyrie. If more people loved each other and our neighbors, like Mae Phillips.

She had nothing but the ability to work hard and help her neighbors. Her life was rough but she loved people.
You should really read the book and take some lessons from her.
