Ruth and family: Our condolences on your loss and prayers for your comfort and understanding. I was remembering your mother just last week, telling the teller at my bank how she used to count money the fastest of anyone I ever met! What pleasant memories to think of her. May she be blessed with a special place in God's heavenly home.
