Please know that you are all in my prayers. I loved your Mom & Dad, Grandmother, & Grandfather. Your Mom was just as alert and fun as ever when I spoke to her on her birthday. 100 years! Wow. What a good life she lived. You must be proud of the woman she was. Carry her spirit with you always. Such an inspiration.❤️
We are so sad to hear about your mom. She was an amazing woman and raised a wonderful family. I still can’t believe she was 100 years old! You are so blessed to have had all those years with her. She will definitely be missed. God bless your Mom as well as you and your family
Ruth and Mel spent many weekends with my parents and they enjoyed a friendship going back to high school. I didn’t see them after moving away, but corresponded with Ruth at Christmas. She was one of my favorite people in my parent’s circle of friends outliving them all by several years, and now she has joined Mel at Jefferson Barracks.
My condolences to Joyce and Barbara. Just learned of your mother’s passing, by accident, today – 7-27-2021. Knew her well while dating Joyce in the 1964-1967 time frame. She was a very likeable and lovely woman. She is with the Lord JESUS now and all is well with her.
