Ethel is my ex-mother-in-law. She welcomed me into her home though at times she was not comfortable with my relationship with her daughter. And she gave me comfort when my daughter was terminally ill. Her death from brain cancer probably couldn't have been more painful or more distressing to her immediate family. And she will be missed. Good bye, Mom.
