We need more kindness, gentleness

To the editor:

A letter in the June issue of The Best Years in the Southeast Missourian entitled "A tribute to a lady" should be read by all of Jean Bell Mosley's fans and friends. A columnist for the Missourian for quite a number of years, Mrs. Mosley's column ended when she died in the summer of 2003. Her writings are missed and would make good material for the Missourian posthumously. She brought kindness and gentleness into the world, something the world could use more of.
