'There are lessons here to be learned'...she said as she led her babes to safety.

'Expect nothing' - she said - 'and greet each day anew.'

'Deal with the setbacks. Learn from your mistakes. Grow stronger in the face of life's storms - rain and wind and so much more.'

'Live bravely. Live fearlessly and fiercely. Live - like today is your last one on this earth.'

'Laugh and love' - I heard her say. 'This one life - is all you have.'
