To Lynn and her family ... I was very sorry to see that your Mom has passed away. I have nothing but the best of memories of both your Mom and Dad.
The last time I saw them was my junior year at West Virginia University when I passed through Charleston while driving my Grandmother's car from Florida to Morgantown, WV. Your Mom made me lunch. May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. I know that the Grace of our Lord and Savior will protect and bless your Mom and you and your family.
Sincerely, Rufus Hutchinson, [email protected]
PS, My Mom passed away at 97 too.

Aunt Ruth was so special to all of her family. I´ll always remember her gentle, loving manner. She was kind and caring and loved with all of her heart. I cherish the time I looked up to her in my youth. I hope I learned a little of what she represented in life and about how to live as a true lady and yet always enjoy life and the people around her. I love picturing her with Uncle Billy....smiles on both of their faces!
