As I hugged a dear friend at her mother’s funeral, with tears in her eyes she said to me, “I wish you could have known her.”

Oh, but I do know her!

I know her because I know the woman she raised. The one who passionately lives life, who gives without wanting to receive, the one who is determined and the one who parents like a pro.

I know what a great woman she was because of the great woman she produced.

And now it’s up to you, like any of us who have had a loved one die, to keep a loved one’s character alive for future generations by reflecting, sharing and exhibiting the great qualities of her/his life.
