Dear Ruth Ann, Gary, and family -- I just now found out on FB that she has passed. I can truly tell you that for me, life will be forever changed. She has been a part of my life almost all of my life, ever since I was in her 3rd grade class at Norton in 1963 - 64. I remember that she wasn't at school the day that Kennedy was shot.. years later, she confided where she was, and why (her divorce). I remember how she loved lavender and lilacs, and as a kid I brought her many from our Cheshire farm. Most importantly, she always talked about her 2 kids to all of us schoolkids. We all grew up knowing about you both. Thank you for sharing your wonderful mom with us.. with me.
I loved her very much.
