When you are up to doing so, is there anything you could share about your mother-in-law? A few memories that you particularly remember her by? It would be nice to hear about who she was and how she touched your life.
Thank you, Chris. I definitely want to do that at some point.... I suspect Geri will as well. A few days ago she tried to post a blog in which she talked some about her mother. But when she hit the "post" button her blog vanished and she received an error message from MySpace. Perhaps it wasn't time yet....
One thing for now... Rosemary always loved people and conversation. Nowhere was this more evident than at the grocery store. She would dote on every strange baby she passed, show off pictures of her beautiful granddaughters and great-grandchildren, talk at length with the cashier.... The last time I took her to Kroger's to pick up "a couple of things," it took us about two hours to get through the store. LOL. And everybody loved her.

When you love and lose a mother it is one of the hardest losses in life. I know this since I have lost father, mother, husband and sister recently. But they go on in our thoughts and we keep them immortal by remembrance. Peace, love, health and happiness to all who mourn. Elena Reply to this

Hello Geri and John, So sorry to hear about Geri's mom. I know from things you and Geri have said that she was one very sweet lady. One thing I do know for sure about her..she gave our family a very nice daughter in law. Writing memories is very good for you all, when you are ready. It gives you joy, smiles, tears,healing and a booklet about "Rosemary" to "share her " with the little ones that are growing up in your family. Love you all, Linda and Dad Reply to this
