Rusty was one of the most loving and caring person I have ever met! She was always there to help anyone, night or day and always had a smile for everyone. She volunteered at church quite often and was in so many projects all the time that there were too many of them to count. I miss her greatly!
Rusty has a wonderful husband and two lovely daughters that are in my thoughts and prayers. My heart goes out to you all in this time of sorrow.
Rusty, I'll see you on the other side some day. Save me a place up there!
