Terri & Phyllis,
Your mother is a signifigant loss to our family. I consider us so lucky to have been embraced into her family. To be able to enjoy our lives as one and not two separate families. She wasn't my sister-in-laws mother, she was my friend, my family, my childrens grandma. She was everychilds grandma.She will be sadly missed by all whose lives she touched. Love, Maria
