We will certainly miss her, but realize that she is having a grand reunion with her Saviour and her beloved family. Thanks for allowing us to share in her life these last 29 years. What a blessing she has been. We feel very honored to have known and loved her.

God bless you, and keep in touch. Ruby & Johnnie
