    So sorry to hear of your loss. I know it’s been a long journey with all this but, she is free with no more pain. She was the best mother-in-law a girl could ever ask for. So many mixed feelings and memories come to mind. Some good and some not so good. I loved her so much.

    I am sorry to lose such a dear friend. I will always remember all of our good times together. We talked at length a couple of weeks ago and said our “Goodbyes” at that time. Prayers to all the family.
