I couldn't have asked for a better mother-in-law. You treated me like i was your own. You were like another mother to me. I will miss you momma. You're pain free and suffering no more. I love you always momma.

Heaven has the biggest gain.
No more suffering,
no more pain.
Though we miss her smiling face
She is resting in a better place.
Even though our days are sad.
We're greatful for the times we had.
We won't worry, we won't cry.
It was your time to say good-bye.
Sadly missed,
Debby
