I Love You Mom Uncle Larry sent me this poem and I thought it was beautiful.
I thought of you with love today
but that is nothing new
I thought about you yesterday
and days before that too,
I think of you in silence
…I often speak your name
All I have are memories
and your picture in a frame
Your memory is my keepsake
with which I’ll never part
God has you in His keeping
I have you in my heart.

This is a wonderful picture. It shows her wonderful love of life with that smile. No matter how sick she was, she always had that smile.

Your smile will never be forgotten. so many wonderful memories of barbeques on the weekend. Sharing and decorating for holidays. Helping you realize your potential and you getting your CNA certificate watching you graduate. Your ability to work as a Manger in AZ. With developmentally disabled adults and gaining such a love and bond. You had such a big heart and gave your love and compassion unconditionally. I will miss your calls and Skype that brought us closer together even though we were miles apart. You were a warrior to the end and that is because you have always done everything with exceptional strength, courage and devotion. You touched many lives and gave happiness that they may have never known otherwise. I love you Ruthann Townley and will miss your physical being but am thankful for all that you left in my heart. Rest In Peace my Angel.
