Don't be afraid to laugh because it is the one thing we have that is ours alone-our one pure invention. Use it when you think of me -Do not cry for me- I've lived better than anyone I know. I have loved my life and I have been loved; loved in a way we only dream of being loved. Loved by my husband, my children, my grandchildren, my parents, my siblings, and my friends. As laughter is our purest invention, love is our purest gift.
I Love You,
Beth
