My MIL passed away
We were informed a few hours ago that my mother-in-law Antonia Liacopoulou, passed away peacefully today 28th January 2012. She was born on 8th October 1913 and gave birth to four daughters and he youngest child was my husband, She had 10 grand children and seven great grand children.
Although over ninety eight years old, until recently she had a sharp mind and until the day she died she knew who we were and she could walk with the help of her walking support device to the bathroom or come down three steps from her bedroom to the living room. The last time we visited her early in January, although she did not get out of bed she still recognized us. We were recently informed that she had breathing problems and the oxygen in her blood was very low. The doctor diagnozed that it was the last stage and we were expecting it.
She was a wonderful and kind person and was like a mother to me. She took care of me during my pregancies when the doctor ordered that I had to come to Athens and stay in bed until I gave birth, after two miscarriages.
May God rest her soul. We will miss her a lot. She will now be reunited with her beloved husband who passed away thirty years ago.
What a wonderful long life she had. I'm so sorry for your loss.
Oh, Ivy, I am so sorry for your and your husband's loss. It is never easy. Happily she lived a long and seemingly happy life and lived long enough to enjoy her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren which is an amazing gift. May she rest in peace and sending you a hug. xo
Ivy, I am sorry for your loss...beautiful post dedicated to such a nice lady.

I am sorry to hear that. So sad to hear this news. May her soul rest in peace.
I regret her loss from your life. However, I will pray that her soul rests in peace and may she unite happily with her husband. Where was she living at the time of her death?
So sorry to hear about your mother-in-law, Ivy. It sounds like she lived a long, happy life and was surrounded by many who loved her.
My deepest sympathies to you and your family Ivy. It sounds like you MIL had an interesting and full life.
Wow, very sorry to hear of your loss. Atleast thankfully she had such a long life and got to witness the growth and continuation of her family with you and your children. Sounds like she was a very caring person.
