I find myself sitting here thinking where to begin to pay tribute to my late Mother-in-law, where to begin sharing how wonderful she was and how much I love her. I remember first meeting Mom Everett at their home. Arian and I had only been out on a few dates and he wanted me to meet his parents and I looked forward to meeting them. From the start I knew that Arian was from a strong, loving, Christian family - it was solidified when I met Mom & Dad. I met Mom first and as I recall the jittery feelings of meeting her melted away when we started talking. She was always so kind, loving and funny among other things. I have always, from the very beginning, been welcomed into my husband's entire family and it all began with Mom.
Mom was a great example of what it means to walk in faith, to be a devoted wife, to be a loving mother and to be available to not only those she loved, but to anyone who needed her. I will miss her, we all will, but to paraphrase Aunt Lois (Mom's oldest sister), "it was a blow to hear that she was gone, but it's not a knock-out punch!", and that's because we know that she is with Christ & we praise God for that!!!
We'd like to thank & bless each and every one of you that has kept us lifted in prayer, checked in on us and/or have done a kind deed as we adjust to life without Mom Everett. We love you, God bless you!
