and if they are illiterate in All langauages then the OP could draw some type of a pic so that their MIL can show the card to the FA or whomever and they will read the English written on it and beable to help the passenger out

First you didn't see "illiterate" and now you're saying you were making assumptions based on it?

Besides, illiterate is illiterate. If we're going to trust the OP on the veracity of this issue, we have to trust his/her words.

My advice to OP - if you're not going to accompany, don't complain about a bad outcome when the illiterate, elderly woman runs into trouble.
