Dearest Ruby
Curtis called and told me of June's passing. I am so very sorry. Even though we have not seen you and your family for a long time - I still remember the wonderful times we had when our familes got together. I was thinking about you both just last week -- Curtis said the same. He must have been talking to us. Our love and prayers are with you. Love you so very much Carolyn and Dennis

Dear Ruby, I am so very sad to learn of my uncle June's passing. I have always loved you both dearly and have such sweet memories of how good he and you were to me when I was growing up. His strong, quiet ways and the thoughtful things he did without making a big deal of them are what I remember most. He was very special. My prayers and loving thoughts are with you and the family as you go through this sad time. Much love, Joyce Weddle Bailey (West
