Inang, I love you. I will miss you every day. Thank you for being a good mother. Your upbringing made us all successful. You taught us to be resilient and tackle life with fortitude. I can only imagine your challenges raising the eight of us; I will never forget the joke of questioning you, “Who is your favorite child?”
I love you. Rest in peace, Inang.💔💔💔💔❤️❤️❤️🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Love,
Lolit and Mark

Dear Inang,
Honestly, it is very difficult for me to write this note to you this evening. I am filled with deep sadness as I come to terms with your recent passing. To me you weren’t just my mother-in-law, but someone I really loved and cared for deeply.
I cannot express enough how grateful I am for everything you did for our children Zeynep and Ceren. From the moment they were born and as they grew up, your love and guidance played a vital role in shaping their lives. Your presence brought immense joy and happiness to our home, and we were always overjoyed when you stayed with us in Virginia.
I am also very thankful for the gift of my wife, Eleanor, who you gave birth to and raised so wonderfully. You instilled in her the values of respect, kindness, and raising her as a wonderful human being. Through your teachings, our children also learned important lessons in manners and embraced their heritage.
Your memory will forever be etched in my heart. I will hold onto the precious moments we shared, and the love we experienced as a family. I will always remember your smile and the love you poured into our lives.
As we say goodbye, please know that you will be deeply missed. Your absence will be felt in every corner of our lives, but we find solace in the beautiful memories we created together. As I did always, I will continue to pray for your soul and keep your spirit alive through the stories I share with our children.
Thank you for being a remarkable mother-in-law and for blessing our lives in countless ways. I am so grateful to have known you and to have had you in our lives.
With all my love, respect and aching heart,
Your son in law
