Maggie showed me the true meaning of what love really is. She must have known that I'd eventually discover the card she left behind. It's message, "In case I haven't told you strongly enough or often enough, deeply or sweetly or softly enough...I love you." will be an everlasting reminder that she is the most beautiful, compassionate and inspiring person I have ever known.
