Beth,
Words cannot express how very sorry I am for your loss. Having had the privilege to know your mom, I clearly understand what an inspiration she was to you and what an impact she made on your life. You clearly walk in her footsteps. Her strength and power stood out in such a way that was truly unforgettable to me, and know in your heart that she too was blessed by having an amazing daughter like you. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
