From Ruby Lawson on 12/9/2011

I am so sorry that we won't get to visit with Duddie. We haven't been able to visit much over the years but always such fun when we got together. I remember one trip when she and Jerry, and Niecy and Charlie came to Siloam Springs when I had my bed-and-breakfast. She wanted to make 'egg butter' like Grandma Joseph always made...so we made some for breakfast and I made biscuits. Pretty much like scones and lemon curd. That came from Grandpa and English cooking, although Grandma was a very good cook, especially cookies. I'm so glad Dolly and Dick had us come for the Harris reunion at their home, as I really did get to visit a lot with Duddie. She didn't add a lot of conversation but I did feel that she was aware as she laughed and seemed to enjoy the stories we talked about. Mostly about things that took place at 2531 Hiawatha. I'll be thinking of you as you tell her goodbye this weekend. My love to all, Ruby
