Bill so sorry to read about the passing of your mom. My son Chris said he met you when you were in town visiting your mom awhile ago. Would be nice to get together if you have time while you are in town. Bill Garber

Ruth was a great mother in law who lead me to Jesus and taught me how to use a pressure cooker. What more could you ask?
