My dearest mother-in-law
You were the truest, dearest, mother-in-law I could ever have asked for. I called you a friend, adviser and also a mother. You stood by me 10 plus years after my mom passed on.
You were a precious gift from God, So much beauty, grace, love and patience you possessed. You touched my heart in so many ways, your strength and smile even on dark days made me realize I had an angel beside me.
I will forever salute you, You were all I ever needed. God gave me the best mother-in-law in the world.
I will miss you my dearest mother-in-law

But our commonwealth is in heaven, and from it we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, who will change our lowly body to be like his glorious body, by the power which enables him even to subject all things to himself.
I worked at the Glenwood Middle School with Ernestine, and I loved her to pieces. She was always so positive and cared for her students so much. She will truly be missed. My dear friend, someday I will rejoice with you in heaven.
So sorry for your loss. She was a lovely lady.
