Mom was such a wonderful mother-in-law. She accepted me and my girls as family as soon as we met. I loved playing the piano for her on her visits and over the phone. We had so many wonderful talks. And she also made the best potato soup I had ever had. I will miss her dearly! I know she's in heaven with dad (barefoot) smiling down at peace at last! Mike and I will see you again. We love you!

We want to thank Terri and Tim for taking such good care of mom and over-seeing the arrangements at the end. You were always a blessing to her and to us. We love you.

Loved Aunt Ruby to pieces. She was always so sweet and took an interest in me since I was a little girl. I pray that Eddie and Mike and all of your families and all of Teresa and Jimmy's families are comforted by the knowledge that she is resting in the arms of Jesus now. Hoping to hug her again someday. Love to all.
