To all of Ruths children,
Oh, how my heart aches for you and the loss of your sweet mother. My first memory of your mom was her prize pocket apron in Primary! She made primary singing time so much fun! I loved going into your home and remember several activities as a youth in your kitchen. Your mom always made it fun with her cute giggle and darling personality. You have been and will continue to be in my prayers. May His grace, peace and comfort be with you ALWAYS! All my love, Sharla Bird Chilcote
