Mom,
I will forever miss you. You were a loving, kind Mother-In-Law. You helped me through so many difficult times. Your giving spirit was an inspiration to me and you taught me more about what it is to be a lover of Christ through your daily life. You had such strong faith and a positive, down to earth attitude. You and I used to sit and talk for hours. We had many laughs and many good times. I love you Mom. Rest in peace dear Amy.
