Marlene and Rich and family. I'm so sorry to hear about your Moms passing. I met her many times and she was always so happy to see your friends. She especially took to me on those visits because I was "Beths sister". My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family at this time of sorrow.

Dear Marlene,Richie,Amanda and Alicia, Your mom and grandma was a very special lady. From the days back on Faulkner Ave to recently at your home, I always enjoyed visiting with "Mrs Lynch".

Marlene & Richie, Kevin and families, I was very sorry to hear about the loss of your Mom/Grandmother. I was so glad I got to see her recently at Marie's and also chatted with you both, Kevin and Marlene, on the 4th of July. I know you were worried about her then. You all contributed to a full and happy life for her in the years following the loss of your Dad. I will always remember Auntie Ruth as a lovely, generous woman and remember the fun we all had on Faulkner Ave.
Those spunky Baldwin girls - we can all learn from them!

Love,

Bev

To my Grammy,
What can I say Gram, you are the best. I can speak for all 4 grandaughters when i say, you were like a second mom to all of us. We looked up to you. You will be missed so much. Its just not the same being home without you there. Its like there is a empty space in our home and our hearts. The dogs miss you too. I just want to say thank you for everything you have done for me. I love you so much! And I am not going to say goodbye to you because a long time down the road "I'll be seeing you" xoxo
