Grandma,I'll never forget our trip to the Indy 500,sitting in turn 3,or going to watch Biddy conducting the big band down at Glen Oak Zoo. I always looked forward to cleaning out the gutters at the house, and washing and waxing the Crown Vic. I also enjoyed our Friday night dinners. You were never far from my thoughts; you made such an impact on my life. I miss you so, heaven will be a brighter place with your beautiful smile. I love you always, your grandson, Lee Tate

Dear Mike, Monica, Marcia and families,
I'm so sorry to hear of your great loss. I have many fond memories of your mom. She was a great lady, full of fun and always ready to "go"!! Her name was Ruby for a reason -- she was a precious gem bull of sparkle! My thoughts and prayers are with you.
