It is impossible in a few paragraphs to describe our Fruity. So we won’t. Instead, we will say how
incredibly blessed we were to be loved by her. Anyone who came into their home was always welcomed with laughter, kindness, and graciousness. As much as we will miss her, we are thrilled that she is once again with Dad.
