Tiffany and Melissa, I just found this and was heartbroken to hear about your mom. I worked for her and your dad at WIMG and we always referred to each other as Blondie #1 and Blondie #2. I would often have chats with her in her office and when I heard she was going to Africa many years ago I gave her a little stuffed gorilla when she got back though I never claimed it at the time because it wasn´t important. I just left it for her. She knew it was from me and tried many times to get me to admit it but I stood my ground. There was a stray kitten in the parking lot and I told her I would take him but I didn´t have the resources to get him what he needed. Out of the goodness of her heart, she set me up with the necessary items to get me started and never once asked for anything in return. I remember those days vividly and fondly and wanted to send my sincerest condolences to you both.

Dear Tiffany, Melissa & JB,
I'm praying for your broken hearts.
Your love and pride for your mom was so evident.
I will forever remember your mom for making my birthday in Turks and Caicos beyond special with the incredible dinner on the beach and the camera birthday cake.

Becky was a wonderful friend to us. She was always thinking of others and asking about her daughter Tiffany´s friends. She was so sweet to crochet this very detailed baby blanket for our kids when they were born. My daughter still wraps herself in it to keep warm and it helps remind us of how kind and gentle Tiffany´s mom was. She will be missed so dearly by all of us, her family, and the many animals in whose lives she touched.
