Aunt Ruth was a person that would light up a room with her warm smile and her infectious laughter. She is a beautiful spirit and I know she is in a peaceful place. Linda, Pam, and Carolyn you share the same love of life and sense of family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Juanita was always one of my favorite clients. I never saw her that she was not smiling. She was a delight to know. It has been years since I have seen any of you girls I know you have many of your mother's sweet ways. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. God bless you all.

I have just read about your mother's death. You three girls have my deepest sympathy. Mrs. Gentry through my eyes was a wonderful person. She devoted herself to making sure you three ladies were well taken care of. She was kind, compassionate understanding and wise. She worked very hard in providing for her family. I know she will be missed. I know you will always have very good memories of her life. To Linda, Carolyn and Pam my heart goes out to you in this time of grieving.
May the road rise up to meet you and the wind always be at your back.

GOD Bless each and every one of you
