Your telling her that...she was important, that her acts of kindness still live inside you...haven't been forgotten.
How true--she will be touched to know she touched your life, blue.

I think just writing a short simple thank you card to her would mean a lot.
I like the idea of writing a note--if you send an email message, it is easier for her to discard it without realizing what it is (just another spam). A written note can have more impact, especially for someone of her age--she will appreciate the effort and politeness (the written card is becoming a thing of the past).
