Ruth, It’s been 7 years since you left. Not a day goes by that I don’t think about you. I know you are in great company with your mom, my mom, our dad, Pas, Denny, Bill, June, Guy and Mike. Five siblings whom I miss so much, leaving Patricia Debbie and me to make our way through this life till we meet again. Much love, Kathie.
