Allen, Pat, Wayne, Teresa and Monk,
You were blessed with a wonderful mother, one that I was proud to have called mother-in-law. When they made your Mom they threw away the mold. I know that you will miss her but she lives on in your heart. You just have to take things one day at a time. You all are in my thoughts and prayers.
Love,
Shelby
