Grandma – May God restore your sharp mind, surround you with orchids and butterflies, and always let you have an adult swim lap around the pool. Your travels have finally lead you home. Your soda-milk and goodie cabinet ways live on in all of us. Forever in our hearts and memories, Ruth Elizabeth Wikert, may you rest in peace and follow the pitter patter of your heart to find Grandad in heaven!
