    Another Classmate has left her earthly home. Enjoyed Mattie Ruth as a friend as all of our class were close, even though as we grew older, we could not see each other very often, but when we would meet in public places, always happy to see each other and it would be a greeting with each other just like childhood friends. So sorry for the families loss.
