"Dear Don and family, I am sorry for your loss. I have many great memories of your mom...she was quite a lady. I know that my mother will miss her phone conversations with Ruth...she was a good friend to her. Keep the good memories close. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. With sympathy, Nancy Stewart Griggs"
