I'll miss our long phone calls, your month-long stays over holidays, having you with us at Jacquelyn's school events. I'll miss our "coffees", shopping", & hair appts together. Thank you for your compassion, empathy, comfort, & hope. 12 yrs as my mother-in-law was too short, but a blessing. you taught me so much. I admire your strength & wisdom. You will continue to be my role model. I love you, MaryLou.
