"Rest In Peace my dearly loved mother-in-law Shirleen. You were an amazing woman who came out of your life-long committed bitter challenges so strong. You helped me and my boys so much when we were lost and struggling, in more ways than anyone will ever know. You let me plant odd and strange things in your garden and told me later how much you loved them once they matured. You gave me your garage for a year, for my entire life's collection of nothing, and when I gathered it, you gave me more. You let me take over your house many times and I got to know every nook and cranny in your kitchen. You shared your deep and very dark secrets of your pain and journals from your younger years, and I am forever grateful for your confidence. I thank you for sharing your family name with my sons, and for welcoming me and my boys wholeheartedly. I loved you so much, and I love you still. Christi and Kyle and Zac "
