Seems like yesterday but it was
really a whole year ago when Billy
and I celebrated our 50th wedding
anniversary! Now it is time for #51
and it looks like we will spend it
traveling to Atlanta for the Memo
rial Service for precious friend Ruby
Crawford.
Our lives were blessed and
enriched more than words could ever
tell by twins Ruth and Ruby and we
will miss Ruby as we have missed
Ruth. They did things at a time when
women weren't supposed to do them
and set an example for young women
today. Heaven will never be the same
with both of them there now!
