“It meant a lot to make sure that the legacy of Beth, and the way it was read by the family, hit the right chord \u2013 and that it was delivered with the respect that it absolutely deserved and needed,” Howe said. “She was just an outstanding person, a beautiful soul.”<\/p>\n
Howe late in the story describes two tattoos Coen has dedicated to Beth. One, on his back, reads: “If tears could build a stairway and memories were a lane, I would walk up to Heaven and bring you back again.”<\/p>\n
The other, just underneath his wrist, is written in his mother’s signature and reads: “Elizabeth A. Coen.”<\/p>\n
“He showed me his wrist and her signature and I was really blown away,” Howe said. “It’s a way for him to channel here anytime he’s able to.”<\/p>\n
Added Howe, “I’ve seen how quality this family, and what a quality person Liam, is \u2013 and always has been. I just wanted to make sure that however he wanted to go about it, let’s just try to make sure we show people a side of Liam that I’ve been fortunate enough to know for 20 years.”<\/p>\n
