Peaches and Leon,
I remember going to stay the weekend with Peach and Aunt Ruthie. I would sleep on the couch in the dining area and poke my head up to watch late night TV, but Aunt Ruth would catch me and tell me to go back to sleep. She was a wonderful person, always so kind and gracious. I have such fond memories of her and Uncle Buddy. She will be truly missed.
Love, Sharon & Jim Statt and Family
