Around this time in1986 I was hoping that you would accept me for who I was as I came into your daughter's life. 33 years later and I am so grateful that you were part of my life and allowed me to be part of yours. I sure wish I could share another 33. You have brought so much love and joy to us. This little box is to share a memory..there are plenty of wonderful memories, like you somehow managing to ride in the backseat with two young kids all the way to the east coast when you went on a vacation with us, never complaining once but probably thinking a time or two "what have I gotten myself into". The many Christmas Eve's at your home with the whole family..bbq's, camping, the best home cooking and baking ever and always a goodie box to take with us. You coming to visit for a week or so a couple times a year was a blessing and both dogs loved sharing your breakfast! Oh and let's not forget your very animated way of playing super Mario. Your sense of Humor was the best and I cant count the times we would all crack up and laugh until tears rolled down our cheeks.The more I think of it you were more of a mom to me than a mother in law.  If there ever was a special person who deserved free unquestionable passage through the gates of Heaven it surely is you mom..gone but will never be forgotten..

PS.. you don't have to ask anymore, just go right ahead and dab the middle!
