Although I wasn't able to come east for Aunt Ruth's "party", I'm glad Joyce was able to represent our love. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Let's try to stay in touch!

Sandy, Woody, Judy, David and Chucky:
So sorry to read about the passing of your mom. Woody, you should have told me this morning when I saw you and your lovely wife at the restaurant.
I am sure that your mom and dad are happy to be together once again.
Again, my condolences, and my mom sends hers along as well.

To Sandy,Woody,Chuck,David, and Judy and the entire family:
I am so sorry to read about Ma's Passing. It has been a long time since i have seen her. She was a very loving woman and will be greatly missed. I am sure the loss has effctd you greatly, but at least she is with Pop-Pop now and is at peace and no longer suffering. I know in time the void gets smaller, but until then just remember the good times and try and stay strong. I know from losing my dad last year it is very difficult but with the love of the family you will make it through. Take care of yourselves.
Love Emmy,Trevor,Katelynn,Kelsey,Kyleigh,Kamrynn, and Kourtney
