Ellen and C.J., Rick and I were saddened to hear of the loss of your mother but are rejoicing that she is now with her Savior and no longer tired and hurting. She has been special to me, Erna, for over 50 years. As a teenager I enjoyed walking across the street and visiting with her. She always treated me with such love. I have many happy memories of times spent with your family. I loved her and love you. I am praying for God’s grace and peace for you, my friends.

My heart aches for you all, CJ, Ellen and extended family. The picture above speaks volumes to me. My Aunt Ruby. She’s telling me she’s got to go get those “green Peanuts to boil”, be patient. Such a special person! She loved us even if we were “Yankees”. We will visit and share stories. God Bless you. Love Gary and Sharon
