Dear Janet and Roger, I am so sorry about your sweet Mom, every time I
saw her she was smiling and all the times she came to Tallapoosa with you both for things we have for Alex. I know you will miss her dearly but God
is good and he always takes care of our heartaches. I love you both dearly
and remember you will see her again someday and her body will be healed
and she is probably taking care of Alex right now. My Love, Aunt Jackie

We were only neighbors for what now seems like a short time, only five years, BUT some people come into your life and make imprints on your heart. Ruth (& Woody) were those kind of people. I have sweet memories of her beautiful smile and can hear her now saying "Dahling!" I'm blessed to have known her and she has the honor of most beautiful flower gardens and biggest azaleas ever!! I'm praying for you Janet and Roger as I know the void of losing your parents. Hold tight to your promise of ALL eternity with her! Love and prayers! Jenny, Bryan and boys
