We are sorry for your loss. Rue was our neighbor for 25 years, and our friend for over 35 years. She sat with us in church, after Tommy went home to be with the Lord. We have missed her since she has been unable to attend, due to illness and we will continue to miss her now that she is in Heaven. God bless all of her family that she loved so dearly. She was a wonderful friend.

We sorrow with you at your loss. We will miss our dear friend, Rue, very much. I have a memory of her in my yard. It is a fig tree that she gave me several years ago and I enjoy it and think of her whenever I work around it.
Lovdie is working on a poem to also commemorate her memory for the family.
May God comfort you all at this sad time.
Love and prayers.
