What a great example of a mother-in-law. Many daughters-in-law fail to enjoy the type of relationship shared between Mom and me. My mother-in-law genuinely loved me. For that I am truly grateful. So many wonderful memories will remain in my heart. I have never met a woman who loved football and basketball as much as she did. I will miss making spaghetti salad and watching her enjoy eating it. Holiday gatherings will have her spark of excitement missing. Talking to her on my drive from work made the distance shorter. Thanks, Mom, for all that you did for our family. We will not forget you. Rest now knowing that you have left a legacy of love.
My condolences to the family. Quency glad you and your mother in-law had such a good relationship. I know you will truly miss her.
Dear family,
We are very sorry to learn of the loss of our dear Aunt Lois. Thank you for sharing her obituary. What a wonderful example she set as a wife who was loyal to her husband of 56 years. It was so nice to read about her life, particularly learning of her joy in teaching others. Certainly, her kindness and generosity will be remembered by God. We look forward to seeing her during the resurection.
