So very sorry for your loss. She was such a beautiful woman inside and out. I will always remember her and the talks that we had. She shall always be remembered and will be eternally in our hearts. She will always be in those quiet moments and those beautiful things around you. She will be sorely missed and definitely left a footprint in this life.
