I want to thank you all so very much for all of your heart felt prayers. After fighting valiantly since the spring my mother-in-law was united with her husband of 56 years. We were able to bring her brother who was 103 years old to her bedside in time as well as a well loved niece and her grandchildren. In her memory we will contributing to the War Dogs foundation to reunite military dog handlers with their partners. Again, thank you all for your prayers, gardeners are really special people.

I'm sorry for your loss. Please pass my condolences on to your husband. How very nice that she had family around her when she passed away.

You're worth it!

Praying peace and comfort for the whole family. It's never easy to say goodbye but I agree, what a wonderful send off to have the family gathered around.

“Little girl, why are you doing this? You can’t save all these starfish. You can’t begin to make a difference!” After a few moments thought, she bent down, picked up another starfish & hurled it as far as she could into the ocean. Then she looked up at the man and replied, “Well, I made a difference to that one!” Be the change you wish to see in the world. http://www.stillsthatspeak.com...

Heartfelt condolences to you and your family. Extra prayers going up for your DH. I'm smiling to think of your DMIL going straight to her DH's loving arms, by the grace of G_d.

We're all learners, doers, teachers.
