Aunt Dot, Kandi, Scott, & Uncle Lavaugh- My thoughts are with you and your family at this time. I have a lot of great memories of Mrs. Rucker having tea, and visiting with my own mother back when she was the main Avon Lady about town. She was quite the strong woman, I saw where Aunt Dot got her strength after speaking with Mrs. Rucker at Grandma Barnes' funeral many years ago. Love you guys.

I'm so sorry for your loss, I pray for each one of you to have God's peace surround you and for His love to comfort you .May our sweet Jesus let you know that His angels are surrounding all of us at all times and your mother was with Him the second she took her last breath. The Holy word tells us to be absent from our body is to be present with our Father in heaven.
