To the Rutland Family:
We were so sorry to hear about your dear Mom's death!!
We had so many good times with your Mom and Dad for so many years, first at St. E's and then Prep. All of our children are better people because of the wonderful example they learned from your Mom at St.Elizabeth school, where she taught them all. Please know that we are so sorry we could not be with you for the funeral, but Dick is taking radiation treatments every day, and he cannot miss them. You all are in our thoughts and prayers. We will miss her dearly.
Love, Dick and Jeanie Ridgway
