We have been waiting for over two weeks. My Mother-In-Law passed this morning. She was almost 95 and a really tough lady. She fell asleep eleven days ago and has had no food or water intake since then.

Please keep us in your prayers as we literally have a long road ahead. After services here in Oxford, we must transport to Florida for services and interment there.

George

Having recently gone through a similar thing with my Mother I know that the waiting was the hardest part. I am sorry for your loss, but I pray she is in a better place. The pain is over for her but continues for the family.

Be strength for your wife.

George,

Our sincere condolences to you and your wife on the loss of your Mother-in-Law. I lost my Mother at 95 years young last summer and have focused on recalling all of our marvelous memories of her. When I think that a person can live to such I ripe old age, I can only imagine the fullness of their lives and what they gave to all of us.
