Ruly, next week it will be 36 years since you left us. We miss you every day. We lost Becky to Covid last year, I know you were there to help her, but it has been hard for us, it felt as if we lost you all over again. Your girls are doing well. I’m working out and ran my first 5K last year in your memory. We will be running again at the end of April. I’ll be thinking about how you had me running around the track at Rowland. Good memories!
The police memorial here found out that we were survivors and thought it would be nice to add you to their memorial service, families no matter where we live, always! Love you and miss you, Joanie
