    While I never had the pleasure of meeting her in person, I was honored to have known her through a fantastic online community, which we are both part of. She was an incredible form of inspiration, and had such a huge impact on many of us. She will be deeply missed. Sending love to all her family and friends.

    I am so very sorry to this wonderful family for the loss of their dear mother and wife. The girls looked beautiful and her little guy was very handsome at her viewing tonight and the pictures really helped grasp just the kind of mom she was. I have the pleasure of having Lizzy in my class this year and she is beautiful inside and out. I wish this family all the love, support, and comfort they need to get through this. God Bless and keep you all.
