Today is a very sad Mother's Day for me.

Tuesday night my mother-in-law and design partner, Audrey Graver suffered a massive stroke. Richie and I spent 12 hours with her in the emergency room with our entire family by her side. After she was admitted to Intensive Care, I left her bedside to come to QVC to share my Today's Special Value.

For me, it was extremely hard being on air during a time when a loved one of mine was in such distress. I felt disconnected. You may have noticed I wasn't myself. I found it hard to speak from my heart because my heart was breaking.

I returned back to Audrey's side late Thursday night and spent Friday with her. Late Friday night she passed quietly and peacefully.

Audrey was an extraordinary woman. She touched the lives of everyone she met. She was the most beautiful woman I have ever known, both inside and out. She will live in all our hearts forever.

My condolences. That's very sad - I watched the Susan Graver in depth piece that QVC aired on Christmas Day, and she seemed to have a very close relationship with her MIL.

So very sorry for this terrible loss, to the entire Graver family.

I know Susan lost her own mother a few years ago, and I know she seemed to think of Audrey as her second mother. I always thought it was such a treasured relationship she had with her mother-in-law, as you always hear stories of mother-in-laws and daughter-in-laws who don't get along.

Susan, may the days ahead get easier as you realize how fortunate you were to have had Audrey in your life, and may it comfort you to know that I'm sure she felt the same way about you. You obviously adored one another!

Susan my deepest condolences to you and your family. I knew how much you loved her because of how well you always spoke of her. You were all so lucky to have her in your lives and I'm sure she felt the same about your family. God Bless you all and I'm sure she will be smiling, watching and cheering you on on every show from heaven.
