Aunt Ruthie, you were very special to me and you will always be in my heart. Thank you for help raising me and having me be part of your extended family. I have wonderful memories of road trips with you to go pick up Uncle Bennie at the ship yards. I have wonderful memories of Uncle Bennie taking him fishing and going to the Boston Red Soxes games.

Thank you for helping me thru out my school years and many trips to the library for me while I was working. Thank you for taking me to Anna/Carl and family on weekends, school vacations, bingo nights. I have wonderful memories of my extended families.

Thank you for letting me help you with your grandchildren especially Kathy Lee where I got plenty of experience of helping out. Thank you for the summers with Al and Rita and Carmel at the Cape Cod summer cottage. Please tell everyone hello for me. I love you and I miss you.
Love Bev

Love MaryAnn

She's not lost.
God gave her a smile
and took her hand
and welcomed her
to a familiar land.
And its much more
warm and fair
than the last time
she lingered there.
And though for her
familiar voice, you yearn,
and every day, you wish
for her return,
she is home at last,
comforted by the love,
of every angel
in heaven above.
She sheds no tears
for the path she trod;
for she has found
everlasting warmth,
beauty, and comfort
in the hand of God.
She's not lost.
