"She's quick and she's smart and she's well-read. She's curious about everything, she's daring, she's adventurous, she's willing to jet off anywhere – and I really do mean jet, she once got in an F16 for a ride."

She continued: "She has met unthinkable challenges in her life with grit, without self-pity, with determination, and always, always with unshakeable faith. She loves us, her family, fiercely and her selflessness and sacrifice for us, her steadfastness, and her unmoveable confidence is the reason any of us grew up to do anything.
