Root & Branch,
whose work begins with women,
and doesn't end there,
salute a young woman who came to the throne
over 70 years ago in a patriarchal culture
and steadfastly showed
a better way.
We offer our sincere respect and thanks
to a lady who quietly loved much
and who herself was deeply beloved.
She wrought great change in the world
through being true to herself
to her duty,
and to her faith in God.
May she now rest in peace.
