Betty, So sorry that Mom and I could not be with you for any of the services. Your Mom lived a wonderfully full and long life. It is a blessing to know that she is now in heaven enjoying her reward.

We are so sorry to hear of Aunt Ruby's death. We loved her and she will be missed very much. We are sorry we could not attend the funeral, the weather would not allow it. Our hearts are with you all.
