Oh Lou I still can't believe you are gone. Its so hard to believe that I won't ever hear you yell for me as I ride through Frederick anymore as I heard so often. All your worries are over and all your fears are gone. But you are missed so very much by those of us who love you. So many fun times we had on the farm that year. Times I'll cherish forever. That was one of the best most fun summer's I ever had and it was all thanks to you and Ricky. I will never forget it and I surely will never forget you. I love you and miss you so very much Lou

I'll always remember you grandma. You were so funny. I remember me, you, dad, Maddie and mom always dancing with each other to your favorite songs. Seeing you pass away in the hospital that night broke my heart. But now I know that you're safe with God and that you're not suffering anymore. Gone but never forgotten. You'll always be in my heart. I love you grandma Ruby. ???? watch over me please.
