Dorothy and Alan, I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your mother. She had a special place in my heart. She had such a feisty spirit and I admired her so much. I will never forget the concerts Dorothy, Bonnie and I attended with her., the rolling stops, and" son of a Siberian basket ball player". I will miss you Ms. Ruthie.
Love,
Aimee "Allensworth" DeBusk
