JOHN, JANICE, MICHAEL, TERRY, CHRIS: YOUR MOTHER WAS ONE OF MY FAVORITE PEOPLE. FOND MEMORIES OF HOLIDAYS AND OTHER CELEBRATIONS ARE ETERNAL. SHE MADE THE BEST GERMAN POTATO SALAD EVER. TO THIS DAY I TELL PEOPLE YOU HAVE NOT HAD THE BEST UNTIL YOU HAVE AUNT RUTH'S. ALTHOUGH, WE WERE NOT BLOOD RELATIVES SHE ALWAYS MADE US FEEL LIKE WE WERE. SHE WILL BE MISSED IN PRESENCE BUT NOT IN MEMORY. I AM HAPPY THAT SHE WAS ABLE TO SEE HER CHILDREN GROW UP TO BE SUCCESSFUL CITIZENS OF OUR COUNTRY.
MY LOVE TO ALL OF YOU.
