She was the best Mother-in-law,in the world.In fact I just called her Mom.She was definitely ,a server.She welcomed every one she knew as family.The thing I remember most about her.She loved to cook, and wouldn't sit down at the table, until she made sure she asked everyone if they needed anything.She also loved cats and dogs.She dog sat,everytime her son ,Phil and I would go on vacation.And I heard she did the same for her daughter, Carol.I never heard her complain about anything.I miss her...
