We hope it will give those left behind, a love filled, useful, thought provoking, funny and unique memento of their treasured someone. Truly made with love.\nThe secret of my Chewy Chocolate Fudge Brownies and recipe are going in my book, for future generations to enjoy x\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Verna Scott-Culkin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44985087492149,"sku":"ByrdShop_1526204681","price":34.33,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781526204684_0fa20f85-949e-45a0-82ab-cd5a3245a56d.jpg?v=1778675885","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/before-i-go-9781526204684","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
