♥ In memory of my Mom ♥ Ruth Deloress Bayliss Rinker September 3, 1933-December 4, 2021 ************ You can shed tears that she is gone or you can smile because she has lived. You can close your eyes and pray that she'll come back, Or you can open your eyes and see all she's left. Your heart can be empty because you can't see her, or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday. You can remember her and only that she's gone or you can cherish her memory and let it live on. You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back. Or you can do what she'd want: smile, open your eyes, love, and go on. ♥ I love you and miss you Mom ♥

I send the warmest condolences to Ruth’s family and friends.
