My dear dear Til, what can I say? Well, God likes pretty flowers in his garden too. I had the honor of being her second daughter-in-law, after the death of her precious Jackie. She was more than a mother-in-law, she was a friend, confidant, mother at times, and my mother-in-law always. Yes, I will mourn her, but that will pass in time. Yet, the wonderful memories and kindness will never be forgotten.I'll see Til again. It will only be a fleeting moment in time. I shall always love her until the shore reaches the end of time. Felix, you are my friend. Children, you are mine. My love and sympathy I send to you on a beautiful butterfly.
