For those of you who have been around the shows I put on, you probably saw my mother-in-law, Herlinda Torres Morales, who lived with us. She passed away on August 12 and things have been hectic. I apologize to those who I was late shipping to. She was born July 23, 1924.

Some of you might remember the story of me showing her an old Mexican silver coin and whenever I came back she had scrubbed it with Comet. I made her a necklace with a 1924 Peace dollar and she loved it. Whenever I first started putting on Coin Shows she made the table cloths. I have to say that Momma could cook!

People used to kid me about Fred Flintstone saying: "I love my mother in law. I love my mother in law." Honestly, I can say I loved my mother in law!

I'll miss her, but I know she did not suffer and is in Heaven.

    My condolences as well.
    RIP Herlinda. Sorry I don't have any dated 1924, but it's probably my prettiest, in her honor:

    Mother-in-law it's just a title.. it does not begin to describe how close we can be with some people in our lives.

    I always got along with my mother-in-law real well also. She died much too young 39 years ago at the age of 60. I'm sorry for your loss.

    Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......

    My condolences for you and your family, Michael.
    2017 is not a good year so far. I hope things get better for you and yours, as soon as possible.

    I never had a mother-in-law, but all of my past girlfriends moms were truly remarkable women.
