Im so very sorry for your loss. She was the best mother-in-law ever and always treated me like one of her own. I feel so blessed that she was in my life. I would never have been able to get through so many challenges at such a young age without her love and support. Thoughts and prayers to the West family and special hugs being sent to Roger.
