My heart is hurting so deeply. My beautiful mother-in-law Patsy has departed and there’s a gaping hole where her kind, generous and loving spirit once resided.  I will miss our long talks, your genuine laugh and especially your exceptional individuality.   You lived, by your own example; treat others with acceptance, kindness, generosity and love; be yourself whether or not others approve, love who you are; and live with the grace of God in your heart.  You can never be replaced but your amazing legacy lives on in those who were blessed to know you; especially in your beautiful grandchildren.  I see so much of you in each of them.  As much as we’re hurting without you here, our pain is lessened knowing that you are finally at peace resting in the Lord’s love.    

Love you and miss you always, Ria.
