Message: To my wonderful Mother-In-Law. You will so be missed. You have been a rock in my life and I love you like my own mother. Madison, Benjamin and I cannot be there due to Benjamin's tonsillectomy, but you know we are with you in our hearts. Now you are at peace, no pain, and can look down on us anytime from Heaven. Thank you for giving me the most wonderful man in the world, thank you for your love, and thank you for always being there when I needed to talk. I will miss you more than you know, and I only pray that you and mom are together, smiling down on us, and enjoying being in the most ultimate place. I want you to know that the kids have shed tears and would love to hug you one more time. They know that one day they will have that opportunity. God please take care of her! Love you Marianne, love you so much.
