Quoting the film Steel Magnolias she wrote, “…there was no noise, no tremble, just peace. Oh God(dess), I realized as a woman how lucky I am. I was there when that wonderful creature drifted into my life and I was there when she drifted out. It was the most precious moment of my life.” —M’Lynn Steel Magnolias. I have seen, heard and felt every bit of your love.”
