I do have 5 sisters-in-law, but there are only two that are worth the time, one more than the other. At least she and I are pretty close.

I'm very sorry as well Janet. I guess some of us forget how lucky we are to still having siblings to "fight with". I definetly understand how hard her life must have been. I, too, had my first child at 15 & married someone else at 17. Althought he was the alcoholic (& drug user). I tried it but never really "got into it". I'm 29 now with 4 kids & still struggling to make it. I'm sure you must get alittle peace from knowing she isn't struggling anymore & her spirit remains with you always.
