May the memories you shared with her keep you strong. I didn't know her personally but I have children of my own and knowing what you are going through led me to leave this message. Know that I and many others that have not met you or her are thinking of you and wishing you strength through the memories you cherished with her. May you and your family be blessed. Hugs from afar!
