We called her Aunt Rusty. She was my Mom's best friend of over 50 years. Mom predeceased her in July 2007. Miss you

I had the pleasure of meeting Miss Rusty, while working at The Summit. What a delightfully sweet woman.....always smiling.....with a smile that would light up a room. I'm sure she is smiling and at peace, resting in the arms of Jesus. She suffers no more. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
