Dear Janet,
You may not remember me, but I am Ruth Greer's grand daughter. Uncle Perry was my great uncle and Aunt Dona was my great aunt. My paretns are Bill and Lequita Watley and today I was told of your loss. I have fond memories of spending time with Aunt Dona many years ago. Mother told me today that I was named after Aunt Dona and Mama. I am very proud to have been named after them both.
I know all her family will miss her greatly. May The Lord keep you in his loving arms.
