Mrs. Walker was my bus driver for so many years! Her husband was our mailman and I graduated with her son. She was the sweetest, nicest person and I have thought of her often. Such a beautiful soul. Thoughts and prayers to her family.

Ruth was my aunt...my Dad's sister! Because Dad was career Army, we moved around often...but in the summers, my sister and I had the priveledge of coming back to Ruth and Ralph's farm. Havre de Grace was where we called home! I remember laughing alot when I was there, playing in the barn, eating Ruth's hotcakes, riding on the tractor, playing croquet, walking thru the cornfield in the evening to get an ice cream cone...so many happy memories! Hearing Ruth laugh was the best sound...my Dad always said that when she was born...she came out laughing!! You will be missed Ruth! Lots of love heading your way!
