Rest in Peace Artilla, although we are first cousins and had only met face to face a few times it saddens me to know we will not meet here on earth again. I am looking forward to seeing you again in Heaven.

So many happy memories from our childhood with your mom at your house on Perkins Street and running around Rushville with Susan. Your mother was such a beautiful lady, so admirable, and such a good mom. It was always nice to be at your house.
May you find comfort from all those good memories, from the support of your friends and family during this difficult time of saying goodbye.

Susan,
So sorry to hear of your mother’s passing. As you well know, there is nothing to compare to a mother’s love. I always viewed your mother an extremely poised and classy lady. She was so supportive of your endevors and the entire family. It’s been many years since I’ve seen you, but know I have many fond memories of cheerleading at good “ole” RCHS. Take care and please know you have my condolences.
Most sincerely, Kathy and Larry “Hoss”
