Apologies, it's difficult to make something sound personal without having personal anecdotes, and I fear any anecdotes I invent would make things worse. Here's another sample, and I would encourage you to add a few personal thoughts. I've noted in the text where you could add something. Don't worry if it doesn't sound right, you can add your anecdote and ask for a rewrite - just get the idea down and don't worry about the text or making it sound a certain way.

***Good morning, everyone. For those of you who don't know me, I'm [your name], and I'm the husband of [your wife's name]. I'm here today to talk about my mother-in-law, [her name].

I first met [her name] when I started dating [your wife's name]. People joke about "mother-in-laws", but I never needed to worry.  [her name] was a remarkable woman, and her kindness and generosity knew no bounds. From the moment I met her, she made me feel like a part of the family, and I will always be grateful for that. [you can add a personal memory here - think back to the earliest time you remember feeling welcomed and loved by her]

One of the things that always struck me about [her name] was how much she loved her family. She had a heart of gold and would go out of her way to make sure everyone was happy and cared for. [you could add a personal memory here as well - if you can remember a time when she went out of her way to make sure people were happy and cared for - maybe a holiday, maybe a time when she was sick but still took care of everyone else?] Her love for [your wife's name] was especially strong, and I am thankful for the many ways she showed her love and support over the years.

I remember when [try to think of a time when your mother-in-law did something that she thought was small, but it was very important to you]. It was a small gesture, but it meant so much to me, and it showed me how thoughtful and caring she was. Her warmth and generosity touched so many lives, and she will be dearly missed by all who knew her.

As I reflect on her life, I am reminded of the many ways she touched my heart and the hearts of those around her. Her memory will live on, and we will always hold her close in our hearts. Rest in peace, [her name]."

I hope this revised version gives you a good framework to work with and that it's more personal to your relationship with your mother-in-law. I hope this helps you in writing your eulogy. Remember to speak from the heart and to focus on the positive memories and impact she had on your life. People come to a funeral to remember about the person - the quality of your speech is less important than the feeling behind it.
