Dear Donna & Family,
It is with deep sadness that I learned of the death of your beloved mother. I trust that the Lord will walk with you during this difficult time and that the memories you have will somehow help you to heal the pain that you are now feeling. You mother must have truly been a saint to have tolerated our shenanigans of so many years ago.
With heartfelt sympathy,
Bonnie Kistler Ruth
