I've only met you twice so my image of you comes from my husband Steve. When I hear your name or see your photo in my living room, I think of sunshine and I smile. He has told me so many wonderful things about you. I know you are a loving, caring, and funny woman who brought love and joy to her family. He talks of how much you are loved by your husband which reminds me of the loving bond I have with mine. I'm lucky to have met you.
