All my love to Billy, Carolyn, Judy and Nancy. Still can't believe Timmy is gone, yet he and Ruth are together again, and Danny and Uncle Norman. Timmy was very interested in my youngest's turning a school bus into an RV, so I'll try to attach a pic. I miss you all. xoxoxoxox Eileen <3 PS: It won't let me get to my downloads.

Aunt Ruth, Four years and our whole world is so different. I bet you, Uncle Norman, my parents, Walt, Barb, Joe, Evie and Henry are laughing at us up there. I miss you. xo

Dear Aunt Ruth, I enjoyed every second of being with you on Aug. 13, and I am glad we talked about what you'd do in Heaven (beat the boys at golf;) that it is o.k. to let go and sail to Heaven because your kids will all carry-on just fine; about how God is more merciful than we can ever imagine, so there is no reason to be afraid, etc. Thank you for letting me take a picture with you, even though you said "My hair is a mess." It is a wonderful photo of you, and I shall cherish it always. Say hello to my Parents, et. al., and I'll see you all again, but not yet.... Love,
