She literally made me the person I am today and I will be forever grateful for the time, short though it was, that I got to spend knowing her as her daughter and her friend.

I’ve never lamented the fact that I don’t have daughters-I was made to mother boys. But without her in my life I have to admit that I long to fill that hole with a daughter of my own.

She taught me exactly how to be a mother and then a friend. She taught me how to love someone more than yourself and give to them...
