My heart is broken by the loss of my first mother-in law, Faith. I had know her for 57 years and we were great friends. She loved to talk politics and tell me news of the family. Faith loved the people at her Senior Care home and they loved her back! She participated in all the activities and even helped deliver mail and coffee to the the residents. A big thanks to the kind staff that loved Faith too.
