April 17th 1913 - July 21st 2004

My mother in law in 1984

She worked as a maid, she met my father in law where she worked and they courted for 13 years while they each looked after family members. Then on May 24 1952 they married. They bought a farm and raised cows.

A joyous day for them was when they had their son, June 27 1954, he is an only child. ( guess they thought they had the best so stop there, orrrrr my thoughts are they were afraid to have two like him hehehe just kidding honey. )

Their marriage was based on love, trust, friendship and honesty. They must have done something right because they were together a total of 61 years before my father in law passed away.

My mother in law fell and broke her hip on June 10th of 2000, while she was hospitalized my father in law moved in with us. He passed away on July 17th after having dinner with us. A week later my mother in law was released from the hospital unable to walk because of her hip. She now lives with us.

This picture was taken the night she came home. My mother in law was 87 here.

Having her tea while talking to all the kids and us.

Since getting out of the hospital she is now walking after alot of nudging from myself and my husband.

This picture was taken with our two youngest showing grandma their suits for the funeral.

Don't they look dapper?

My mother in law always wears skirts or dresses till ummmmm I went shopping hehe

Here she is in her first ever track suit aka jogging suit.

This picture was taken in February one week after our twin grandsons were born in 2000. Doesn't she look like a proud great grandma?

Well my mother in law turned 88 and we threw her a birthday party. She no longer walks but still has spunk in her.
