Dear Debbie--what a beautiful, loving tribute to your mother. I am
especially glad that the list was helpful to you as you cared for her. The
phrase, " she managed to redefine a new standard of normal constantly and
figure out what was possible at that stage. " speaks volumes about the
person she was; it's not hard to see why she was "your hero". While you
will miss her so much, I hope you can find some peace in knowing that you
were there for her through all her trials. Thank you for reminding us
about her, and letting us share your loss.
