To Chris and Siblings: Be strong! Chris, I remember when we were on programs at Turner. Ruth, your mother, would look at you and beam. She's smiling down on you now. I started teaching a few years before her, and she would always tell me to be strong. I saw her as strong, and she'd want her progeny to be strong. May God strengthen you all.

God has called home another cousin. We grew up calling Ruth Ann by her nickname, "Toots." I just could not believe her leaving so soon after Johnnie Mae left us. We love you Esther and Bud and are praying for you and the entire family.

Your cousins from Atlanta and Cleveland.
