Sally and Mike your mom was one of our favorite aunts, she was so funny and her and my dad Phillip were two peas in a pod. They always had something hysterical to say and they made the best of life that was given to them. We love you Sally and Michael and we loved aunt Ruthann. Love and prayers from Texas.
