To the Family of Ruth Dixon Cannon,
What a lovely, gracious, talented,terrific woman your dear Mother and Grandmother was, and, undoubtedly, contintues to be.
She was my Mother's (Elayne Fisher's) cousin.
I remember Ruth's beautiful smile, her remarkable talents as a cook extraordinaire, her gracious gifts of kindness, her lovely way of making everyone feel welcome in her presence, and the great goodness of her heart.
I love that Ruth seemed to value a person for what was inside of their hearts, not for their position, money, or visible accomplishments.
I love that she loved her family, and her wonderful heritage.
How honored I am to be related to such a woman.
May you each be blessed, comforted, and strengthened at this tender time,
Terri Jensen
