Mary and my Mom (Mrs. Rucker) shared the same room at DePaul after my Mom had a stroke several years ago. Your family was such a blessing to us, and we want to thank you for your kindness. I'm sorry to hear of Mary's passing. She will always be remembered as a pleasant, caring lady. May God grant you peace and comfort during this difficult time.
My Mom is doing well -- she sends her condolences to you also.
With sympathy,
Valerie Stutsman, Mrs. Rucker's daughter, 587-1955/[email protected]
