Tribute to my Mother-In-Law

  Today is a hard day to even breathe much less think. My dear mother-in-law Judy Stevenson

passed away last night from complications from valve replacement surgery. It is like it isn't real

I go over to her house and see the pictures and hear her laugh, but stop in my tracks and realize it

was only a memory and realize I will never see her again in this life. Her quality of life had gotten

really bad due to needing a heart valve replacement. After many visits and consultations with

Doctors at the University of Virginia hospital, they decided to preform surgery, without it

she would only live a few months. And if the surgery was a success her quality of life would

improve by 75%. The surgery went well but she was never able to breathe on her own and

her organs just started to shut down. Her body just couldn't take anymore.

   I had a wonderful mother-in-law, I honestly from the bottom of my heart cannot say one

bad word about my mother-in-law, she totally excepted and loved me for who I was.

She never, I mean never said anything bad about anyone, I can't say that about myself.

She was truly a woman of God.

  She was wanting one more chance at life, to enjoy life. Her and her daughters were planning

an Alaskan cruise after she recuperated.  But God saw differently  for some reason and

decided to take her home. I am jealous and want her here. But he wanted her more, I guess.

Rest In Peace Judy I love you, and you will be greatly missed.
