Bill and family,
No words can describe how sorry I am for your loss.
Until We Meet Again Ruby
Those special memories of you will always bring a smile and laughter
If only I could have you back for just a little while longer
Then we could sit and talk again just like we use to do growing up
Your friendship always meant so very much to me even though we went in different directions after high school but whenever we met up it was like we had just seen each other the day before
The fact that you are no longer here will always bring tears of sadness but you’re forever in my heart until we meet again.
Love always
Theresa
