Patsi...so sorry for your loss, sending prayers to you and your family...mmurph
What a beautiful picture of her!
Mrs. Lewis was my ex-mother-in-law and was always very kind and giving to me while I was married to her son and also stayed in touch for awhile after we divorced. We traveled for two weeks out West when we got married and were married on Vallecito Lake, in Colorado. I sent her a postcard from our marriage site and she saved it for me to keep. Since she couldn't be with us at our marriage, she sent her own wedding band for me to wear at our marriage. I returned it to her when we got home. We had an ongoing joke between us...since I'm Southern, I was raised to respect my elders by calling them Mr., Mrs., or Miss rather than by their first name. I had grown up hearing my own sister in law call my mother Mrs. always. So, I called her Mrs. Lewis. She really wanted me to call her "Ofie" which is what her friends called her. I just never could do it...it didn't come natural to me. SO, whenever she called me on the phone, she always began by saying, "Hello Mrs. Lewis. This is Mrs. Lewis." LOL...gave us both a laugh:) Rest in Peace, Mrs. Lewis
My sincere condolences and love to Michael, Patsi, Buffi, and her entire family.
