We're gonna miss her.
I just love this photo. It's of my husband, on your left, his brother on the right and his mom and dad. Reminds me of the Cleavers. LOL!!! The perfect little family. Now there is only two of them left. Dennis and his father.
Wed. we got the call that my Mother in law, Marcie had passed away. We were in San Diego for a couple days when we got the call. We came home repacked and headed to AZ where we put together her memorial service which we had on Sat. She was a wonderful lady and is gonna be missed dearly. I was lucky to call her my Mother in law and can only think of good things when I think of her. Only good memories. I lucked out when I got her as my Mother in law. She and my Father in law just celebrated there 70th wedding anniversary on Monday. Marcie turned 89 in Jan. She's had Alzheimers for ten years as I've talked about several times. She hasn't known us for the last four year's I'd say. But she still had the biggest smile when I would see her. I'll always remember that big smile.
I'll be gone for a little while but I'll be back. Just need to take a break for awhile. I wanna thank those of you who have sent e-mails asking where I've been and were concerned about me. That really made me smile when I got home and checked my e-mails today.
If you bought fabric from me, I have't forgotten about it and will get it out to you. Sorry for the delay. Thanks for your patience.
Hey Ladybug! Glad to hear from you, so sorry to hear about your MIL. Sounds like you need to take a break and regroup. Sounds like you need it. Take care of yourself, and I am sending you "mama" hugs!!

So sorry Sharon, to hear of your MIL's passing. Seventy years together is a long time - My Mum and Dad celebrate their 60th Wedding Anniversary in June and I thought that was a seriously long time. I hope you can have a restful break with time to reflect,and I look forward to your blogging when you are ready to face we quilters again. Hug! Hug!
