Wow! To be so blessed as I, to have such a wonderful mother-inlaw! In the 40 years I was to know her, she prooved to be the most positive, good natured and inspirational person that i have ever met. Amazing. Her son and daughter (my wife) did not fall far from the tree. It has been a great honor to have known and loved her... and to have been so welcomed into her (and Dads) wonderful family. I will miss her soooo much. XOXOXO
