Dear Ruby,

Thanks for being so kind and thoughtful and always being here when I needed you - when I was ill or needed to be transported you were here - You are now in that special place with Larry, Glenn and Raymond and that makes your death easier to accept. I miss you and so my Maggie and Annie.

I love you.

Jane

Mamaw- I loved you so much. Thank you for always sharing your wonderful memories with me. Thanks to you, Keegan will know every last silly and mischevious thing her Daddy did as a little boy! Our little girl will grow up to know how blessed we were to have you in our lives and how she was the star on your Christmas tree in '04. I love you and miss you.
