My Sister in Law's Mother passed on...

I received this message from my BIL today:

ELAINES MOTHER DIED TODAY AFTER MANY MONTHS OF PAIN.

SHE HAS GONE TO BE WITH THE LORD JESUS AND IS IN PEACE NOW.

Praise the Lord she has found relief. She was an amazing woman. She has been totally blind for many years, though since after we met her. She was able to see her grandkids as babies, & had great-grandkids now. She still cooked & baked wonderful pies & desserts, & often did my BIL's ironing. She had a few small strokes this last year, & had been in a nursing home for several months.

My SIL, Elaine has been in a wheelchair & quite handicapped for several years, now. This has been really hard on her. I ask your kind prayers for her. Thank you.

I hadn't heard much about Bill and Elaine or her mother for several years now, and have no up to date email address for them so I can send them my condolences as I would like to. Thanks for this notification, and please email me to update me a bit more about her last few years to enable appropriate words to the two of them.

My heart goe out to you and family Dixie as well as my prayers and condolences. #bighugs#

Thank you for your kind thoughts & prayers. We went to KS for the funeral today. We left yesterday morning & got back this eve. It was a lovely service & I learned a bit more about Edna, plus some that I had forgotten. She was 92 & had been blind since 1980, after a brain tumor surgery. She had had 7 surgeries, but her eyesight was not repairable. Her husband died in 1988.

The pastor read some lovely tributes written by her daughter, Elaine, as well as her granddaughter, my neice. They had always been very close, living nearby, & Cheryl was always very attentive to her grandmother's needs.

Elaine mentioned the card from you, Tweety. Thank you all again.
