My MIL passed away early this morning. We are trying to get DH a flight from Boston to Shannon, but so far there are no direct flights. It's bad enough driving to Boston, but I really do not want to drive to JFK. We are trying to sort things through. I will get back to you later today. Maybe sooner. She was 105.

CT so sorry to hear of your MIL. but 105, what a life! what stories she could tell. Planes were at their birth as well as cars when she was born! seeing rockets launch off and now cars that parallel park themselves. and big screen color tv, and not to mention personal computers and microwave ovens. Living thru wars and being able to tell stories. She led a long life. God bless her.

Thank you for your kind words & prayers. My MIL did, indeed, have a long & full life. She was a teacher & principal for more than 50 years. Every time she retired, they'd call her back to sort stuff out. She taught everyone within a 50 mile (more?) radius of where she lived her entire life. She was 10 during Bloody Sunday, the Irish War for Independence in 1920. She sure could tell some stories!
