Joe & Gloria:
May God bless you and Ruthie! Your mother was a saint! Her unselfishness when she was called to action will never be forgotten. Whether it was to help my mother or anyone else over the years she did it willingly. You can be so proud of her! Her New Year's Day renuions were legendary! We always met the most interesting people and participated in some great conversations. They will be sorely missed! Mabe we'll have to start a new tradition.
