Dear Ruthie,
I have known and loved you since 1968 when we became next-door neighbors. You and George watched Dale grow from toddler to teenager and beyond. You were always just part of our little family. I admired you in all things you did. You counseled my many times in areas. You were such a good friend to both Bill and me. Isn't HE gonna be happy to see you!
What a God-shot that I came to WPB just this past April and got to stay with you! All things in your house were exactly where they were 14 years ago when we left, and that was surprisingly comforting to me. Your last gift to me was tolerating my slow-learning of dominoes while I was there.
"Yeaaahhh."
