We purchased our beloved home from Roy and Ruby. From the moment we set foot on the property, we viewed it as a home not a house and it has been our privilege to raise our children here. Roy and Ruby were gracious and kind and fair, and we frequently remember them as we have carried out their wishes for the property at 5698 N. Farm Road 105, Willard, MO to be cared for and loved. Our condolences and blessings go out to your family as you grieve the loss of a dear soul.
Sincerely,
The Robinsons (Jerry, Beth, Cassie, Jake, & Jenna, & a host of other creatures that come & go)
