I hope Chris is smiling down on all the joy those little monsters brought – she was amazing. Every time she made one, she named them and sent out a personalized card that I passed on to the recipient thanking them for adopting a monster. So freaking sweet! My heart is heavy, but I am sending love to Scott and all the friends and family who grieve the loss of a remarkable lady.
