I received a call from my brother-in-law yesterday morning and I found out that my mother-in-law, Elsie, passed away yesterday morning. She had a stroke a few months ago, just before I left, and had been in a rehab clinic ever since. Elsie was a wonderful mother and mother-in-law. I couldn't have asked for a better one. She will be greatly missed, though I am sure she is at peace now and back with Mary Beth. I am leaving Abbey and the RV at the Kupecs in San Jose (lucky them), and flying back to NY for several days. It will be nice to see some of my friends and Mary Beth's relatives, though I would have preferred to see them for a different reason. So you won't hear from me for a little while, but you should be used to that by now.
