A special thank you to Ruthie Eagle for her care. “Some people come into our lives, some people move our souls to dance. “They awaken us to new understanding with the passing whispers of their wisdom. Some people make the sky more beautiful to gaze upon. “They stay in our lives for awhile, leave footprints in our hearts and we are never, ever the same.” Goodbye my sweet sister. I will miss you forever. – Cathy Yakima Herald Republic, Yakima, WA March 2, 2018 |
