A beautiful tribute! I was sad when I got to 44 -- can't wait until she turns 80! I would add my own by saying "she raised her two daughters to include her beauty.
a most accurate and beautiful tribute to my beautiful friend. I love her so, and am so thankful for her, and her 44 marvelous attributes (I'm gonna get busy, and come up with 44 more, cuz you KNOW she has em').
