Thank you for being the best role model of love, strength, compassion, courage, and grace."

"I will forever cherish the beautiful memories we shared and will live by the values you taught me," she added. "You will live forever through the many lives that you touched. Thank you for giving me five best friends for life. Your love will always guide us. I will see you in my dreams."
