The planet lost a wonderful person this weekend.
Dottie was someone who cared more about the happiness of others than her own, and whose broad smile and feisty spirit (hoo boy was she a tough cookie! Loved that about her.) lit up a room.
On a personal level, Dot gave me one of the best gifts of all: Her son.
We'll miss you, sweet Dottie. I'll take good care of your boy. Rest in peace.

It always seems like the best people leave us too quickly. I'm so sorry for the loss of your mom-in-law, as she sounds like she was an amazing person. Now she's your angel, watching over you and your family. *hugs and much sympathy*
Big hugs to you and M.

Sorry for your loss. She looks like she was a spunky lady. Our thoughts are with you, and especially your husband.
So sorry for your loss, you are lucky if you had a great mother in law - keep her in your memories, and take care of her son!
I'm so sorry Laura. I know what it's like to lose someone you love to Alzheimers. May she rest in peace.
hugs for you and your husband....

Oh I am so sorry. Take care of that man or yours - something like this makes the inner 8 year old in them just cave in.
My deepest condolences to you and your Mister, Laura. I know how hard it must have been at the end. {{{{{HUGS}}}}}}
I'm so sorry, Laura! She looked like a spectacular lady. xo, jen
