Anne Stirrat was my mother-in-law for 18 years. She welcomed me into her life before I became engaged to her youngest son and, after getting married, always made me feel like an important member of the family. She was a kind and giving person and loved every member of her family unconditionally. I learned a lot of important lessons from her - the most important was patience. I'll always be glad I had the opportunity to know her and call her "Mom".
