Alyne was the best mother-in-law a girl could hope for. She always found the good in everyone, even when no one else could. She gave of herself selflessly and unconditionally to her family and friends. She never passed up an opportunity to grow spirtually and expand her mind, despite her physical limitation. I will greatly miss her amusing stories and quick wit. I am a much better person for having known her.
Her grand-dog, Taffy brought her much pleasure and amusement. God needed a new angel to watch after the critters, so he called her home. She had a kinship with all animals, and I will make a donation to Save the Tigers Fund in her memory, with my employer, ExxonMobil, matching the donation. Fly high little bird, with God beneath your wings, Taffy and I will see you on the other side.
