Ruthie, I was just rereading the e-mail Nan sent with the obituary regarding your dear mom, & I noticed the option of commenting on the guest book online. Ruthie, you have been in my thoughts & prayers. I can't imagine your depth of loss in the home-going of your mother...joyous for her, but a sad time for you. I will continue to pray for God's comfort during this difficult time for you & your family.

In His Love,
Ruth (Byrd) Darling

Oh Ruth!! I cannot believe that we lost touch with my beloved Aunt Bessie. She was so good to us, and our mother, Lucy. I thought she was much older than her mid-20's. Aunt Bessie gave us some of the only pictures we have of our life with our mother. I am so sorry for your loss.
