parting hour

I lost my mother-in-law last Saturday. She was born in 1925. The recent years she sat in her sofa drawing, living in her own world of birds, flowers, and elves. She leaves her husband, three sons, three grandchildren, and three great-grandchildren. Tomorrow we will say goodbye to her from this church.

    Thank you for all your kind comments. My mother-in-law died suddenly of a heart failure. Easy for her, but a shock for the family, it will take some time to recover from.

    Deepest condolences to you and your family. It is always difficult to lose someone dear and suddenly, too. It sounds as though you will have cherished memories.

    The church is very beautiful.
