I will never forget the day I met Aunt Ruth! She had that beautiful smile on her face and gave me the biggest hug, welcoming me unconditionally into the family! And then, Tammy, you set up her phone so she and I could text each other. That was priceless and I still have all of those texts! In that all-too- short time that I got to know her, it was like we had been connected for years! I'm so glad I got a chance to see her again. . .even if she did call me, Linda!😅 She will be missed but we have a new, precious angel looking over us! Someone once told me, "If you had never loved, then it wouldn't hurt so much when you loose that person." It hurts tremendously, but she is forever with us in our hearts. I love you all!!
