Brad and Greg - - so adored by your Mother. I am truly sorry for your loss. I enjoyed special times with Betty Ruth. Whether we were cutting her hair, riding to Macon, admiring her beautiful crystal and other fine ware, or just chatting, we had fun, and we laughed. She was a wonderful, classy Southern lady, and I loved her. Sincerely, Jeanne
