Betty and Ross Thurber opened their hearts and lives to me when i married their youngest son, Ben. The showed me what a real marriage should be like, to serve each other, the stand up for each other and to forgive each other. They loved me with all their hearts and it is an honor to be their daugther in law and an honor to be in their eternal family!

It is true what they say, the last-born is usually the most free. In my case, it's something different though. I was what you might call an "unexpected surprise." Still, I don't really think i understood how much I was really loved and how much this dear lady loved me.
It's said that you can't really understand something like this unless you experience it for yourself. My earliest memory, and I don't share this much, is of me, with angry and hurt tears in my eyes, looking up at Mama. I was mad because she did something that hurt, she gave me insulin injections in order to keep me alive.
But what I never understood was why she had tears in her eyes. It had never, ever occurred to the mind of my very young self exactly how much it hurt her to give me those shots.
Although I know I was spoiled, I honestly believe, now, it was because my mother was trying to make up for all those times she had to cause me pain to keep me alive. Having to hurt me caused her as much, if not more, pain than I experienced.
So thank you, Mama, for having the courage and the desire to keep me alive, even though it cost you as much as well.

Ross and Betty Thurber were the best neighbors one could ever ask for. Always there to lend a helping hand and just a bright star in this world. Never saw her without a smile and a hello. I know her family will miss her terribly as will the rest of the world. She is with Ross now and smiling down on the rest of us.
