We lost my mother-in-law on this date in 2007 and miss her every day.
On September 11, 2007, my mother-in-law lost her fight with ALS. As a tribute to her I’ve created this page that features a photo of her in July of that year and a list of 10 things I loved about her:
- Her fierce dedication to those she loved
- Her love of animals
- Her easy-going nature
- Her love of laughter
- Her joy in being a teacher
- Her strength
- Her pride in her children and grandchildren
- Her talkativeness
- Her persistence
- How readily she accepted me into her family
We miss and love you, Sandra.
