I have just heard of a horrific tale in the papers today, a 92 year-old charity worker who had spent much of her life selling poppies and was the longest-serving poppy seller, was found dead after being besieged by other charities for donations despite supporting what she could from her pension. The poor lady, our hearts go out to her and her misery. How dedicated was she.

Also I have just heard on the news of a dedicated fire-fighter Roger Smith who retires on Monday now in his seventies, he obviously was dedicated to his job and loved it.
