I have no words

After a beautiful day spent on Saturday with her and we left feeling so good about things, yes she was sick, yes she was frail, yes she was still not able to eat, but she was in good spirits and we hugged when we left. No special words, just "see you next time".

My beautiful mother-in-law, after a long battle with cancer, had a heart attack on Saturday night and passed away in hospital on Sunday morning.

God only takes the best doesn't he, and she will soon be organising Heaven I'm sure, making it work even better than it already does.

Sorry to hear your sad news. I'm glad that both you and Mike were able to spend a wonderful day with her on Saturday before she passed, those memories along with all the others will help you to get through the rough days ahead. Your family is my thoughts
