Default Lost my mother-in-law overnight.......

It's with deep sadness that I must report the death overnight of my Mother-in-law Joan Durbec at age 64. Unlike alot of relationships between son-in-law's/mother-in-law we were close. We shared most of all a love of sports, and shared alot of favorite teams in common. Penn State and our beloved Chicago Cubs being two examples. I could always talk to her about sports, and also she supported my interest in Horse Racing, though she wasn't really a fan of the sport. She was always there to give me a high five after a score, and we shared alot of smiles and laughs. I will miss her very, very much. Keep us in your prayers everyone. Thank you.
RIP

Very sorry for your loss

My deepest condolences to you and your family! Seems like MIL's are always
getting a bad rap. we are the fortunate ones who've had good relations with
mother-in-laws. It's tough to lose a friend,too. RIP

so sorry to hear that you and your family suffered this loss. it sounds like you were very close to your mother in law, which is something to be proud of-i envy you for that. hopefully you and your wife and everyone will soon be able to look back on your memories with more pleasure, and less pain. take care, deb
