Is the exact same sentence I've been reading all over the internet.

My mother, an accomplished musician who wrote a children's musical like it was a shopping list, a writer had one of the high levels of literary culture in French and English I have ever known, and a gentle soul with a gift for ministry, would also have been overjoyed to see this day.

I would have loved to have met your mother.

For our daughters and granddaughters, let's win this one.
