I know you are so happy to be with the loved ones that went home before you. You sure made an influence on my life. Even before I had got to know you, Julie made it clear how wonderful you were. Then when I did get to know you, I admired you even more. God was ready to provide you rest. That was something you never did here on earth, was rest. I love you Mrs. Ruppe. I will see you again one day. I have so many wonderful memories of you. You are such an inspiration. I will never forget you and Gray showing up at my house with that homemade chocolate cake when Landon was born. Til we meet again, thank you for being a special part of my life!
