You are not supposed to like your mother in law but I could not help but love mine just as most people who got to know her did. "Grandma" as I have called her for the past few years was a great mother in law to me, a wonderful mother to her daughter and an amazing grandmother to my children. She leaves an incredable legacy of love behind. So sad she is gone but rejoice that she is with her Savior in heaven.
