Start with a
sentence or short paragraph that tells the most

people.
2.
Copy the
information from your rough draft, starting with the person's
birth and ending with his or her death. Write or type as neatly as you
can.
3.
End with a
sentence or short paragraph that tells how we
remember
the person now, like this:
An eternal flame burns outside
Banting's
house in London, Ontario. It will burn until a cure for diabetes
is finally found.
