Dear Tom, Jim and family,
I heard that your mom has gone to be with the Lord. I know that she is rejoicing with Jesus but the separation for you still hurts. The hope is that someday we will all be together again for eternity
I have wonderful memories of Aunt Ruth. I remember all the times the family would be together at reunions, weddings and just times at my mom and dad's house. As a little person, your mom always had time to hear what I had to say even though there lots of people around. I was so proud to have come from such a large family and am sad that the last of my aunts is no longer here. I have missed the times gone by but the memories will remain. Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you as you go through this time of sorrow.
Love, Bonnie
Aunt Ethel's daughter
