My Mother In Law Just Did Die

My Mother In Law Just Did Die Lee McCarroll Webster died around One AM today. We were just notified b the Batesville, Arkansas care home near the Whitewater River. God had allowed us to see her one last time. Dementia and old age took their toll. She did not recognize us. Also, just read Poem of the Day by Liam McDaid after I wrote this. Closer and closer to God did grow and grow Died and was with Him short time ago We had been told by a telephone call She know receives sympathy from us all. What is last memory we remember of her? Was love she had for us that is for sure Later visit made which was well planned And for last time she squeezed my hand. So in heaven is where she happens to be Where she is waiting for you and me And it is on God who we always relied Will save place for us after we died.
