Rest In Peace




My mother-in-law's name was Lillie.

     As of a little before 4 this morning, she is at peace. My husband is doing okay, but in that stunned place where you realize that your mom is gone. My father-in-law is very confused and we really aren't sure how he will get through this. Please keep him in your prayers.

    There's one more star up in the sky tonight.
