The family of the late Beth Chapman is celebrating what would have been her 52nd birthday.
The occasion was Tuesday, and Beth's husband, Duane "Dog" Chapman, and her daughter, Bonnie, posted special tributes to her on social media.
Chapman died in June after a lengthy battle with cancer.

Chapman reposted a video of Beth hunting down bad guys, along with other clips from the WGN show "Dog's Most Wanted."
"Take your best motherf--in shot motherf--," Beth says to a criminal who was just caught on the show.
It also includes Beth's famous quote: "If I'm gonna die I'm gonna die in my boots."
"Listen I love my job but I love you more," Dog tells Beth, as they share a smooch in the video.

Another post Dog shared was of the two of them having a special moment together in what looks like a tropical location.
"Sooooo in love with this guy!" Beth had written under the photo.

Beth's daughter, Bonnie, wrote a special message for her mom and included a slide show of moments from her life, including Bonnie's graduation day.
"I miss you everyday. Your birthday is coming up, wish I could celebrate with you one last time. Thank you for being there for my graduation, now I’m so thankful I have that moment with you."

Bonnie went on to say how much she misses her mom:
"I miss you so much today, waking up and knowing one of the halves that made me are gone. I notice it every day, but today hurts a little more."
"I miss your laugh and your overwhelming confidence. I miss being able to text you about something, and you going into mama bear mode and being protective over me. I miss your arms around me, I miss your voice. I miss the way you said my name, and the way you cheered me on for anything I did."
