Of all the years Knowing her (sister in law) I never heard her ever say anything negative to me or about me. And most likely anyone else either. Her and Bob every time I was around them just laughed and made it warm and enjoyable. She is going to be missed but I take comfort in knowing she is home now and her and Bob are united again but more importantly with the Lord Jesus. Love you always. Gene
