You were such a strong woman with a heart of gold who would do anything for anyone. You were such a fighter to the very end. I couldn't have asked for a better or more loving mother-in-law. You loved and accepted me and my girls from the first moment we met you and you will always have a special place in my heart. Rest in peace. Love you always!
