1Opinion of the CourtCallahan, J.
The defendant, Marie Mayfield, has appealed from a judgment rendered by the Appellate Court in favor of the plaintiff, Wilma Dei Cas.1 The sole issue on appeal is whether the Appellate Court erred *570when it construed the language of the will of William Shaw, the father of both the plaintiff and the defendant, to give his wife, and their mother, Mary B. Shaw, a fee simple absolute in realty that he owned in New Canaan, rather than a life estate with a vested remainder in the children as urged by the defendant. Dei Cas v. Mayfield, 3 Conn. App. 106, 111, 485 A.2d 584 (1985). We find no error.
