.vords and actions. Her genuine personality illowed her to be so great with children and ven better with the more challenging people, the parents. I feel fortunate to have known her nd to have learned from her. Simply put. Dr. Luck was an incredible person and will always be missed by those who knew her. I love making people smile, and I love meeting new people and making a connection with them. But Dr. Luck's passion for life far out-shadowed mine. She always had a huge smile on her face, and had an uncanny gift for making everyone around her smile too. Whether she was teaching us how to generate a better differential diagnosis, encouraging us to go to another country to treat patients who couldn't afford healthcare, or walking around with us and making her patients all laugh and call for her to spend more time with them, we were always in awe of her humility, her kind and caring nature, and her zest for life. She is exactly the type of physician, and person, I strive to be every day. THE SKULL 29 UUBUOUJ0UU Uj

 Dr. Luck, Thank you for always being a patient and understanding teacher. Your students miss you. Dr. Luck, you were inspiring. As a teacher, you were remarkable - funny, understanding and firm. I only knew you for a few days - but you left your mark. Thank you. She was an amazing teacher, an amazing doctor, and an amazing person. She had so much to give, and was a giant, warm, bright campfire from which countless students have lit their own candles. I have Dr. Luck to thank for helping convince me (though unknowingly) to stay in medical school at a time when 1 almost quit. Dr. Luck's charm, grace, and daily reminders of the impact we can have on our patients are among the reasons I decided not to quit. I have her to thank for my career and so much more. What's more important, is every single one of my future patients will have her to thank too. I cannot imagine a more important mentor. It's awesome how people can inspire our lives and not even intend to. Some people just have a knack for being a shining light though they don't even try. It is so with friend of mine. Dr. Luck. Though 1 knew her only briefly and the majority of our conversations were short e-mails or short constructive critiques of my professional development, she still somehow managed to inspire me. Even as I sat behind her friends and family at her funeral, loving the love that filled the space, it was a song that she had selected to be sung at her funeral that will stick with me as I continue down my own road. I have no doubt that it will help me focus again and again on the same love that enabled her to do the amazing things she did with her life... Dr. Luck (fondly known as Dee-Luck) was an outstanding physician and mentor. She led every doctoring session with a purpose and truly wanted to make an impact on our lives by training us to be conscientious, empathetic physicians. One of the most valuable things she ever taught me was the importance of being a sincere patient advocate. I learned this by her 28 TEMPLE UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF MEDICINE
