Sympathy to the family and extended family. Memories of my first ponie ride. Game of Crow Kay, the rabbit tail sweet smell of Dove and importance of Dropsies. Long time no see. But memories are the cornerstones of our lives. God bless and May God rest in this world of torn pieces. Aunt Ruby always looked so nice. Love her necklace placed centred.
Thanks Denise😘
