Truth has had a tremendous impact on my life and was a much appreciated influence on my daughters. They were the beneficiary of her love of music which she so willingly fostered in others. As we grieve, the memories flood. “Remember when Truth taught us the song about when Grandmama met Grandpapa. Think it was called the ‘Second Minuet’. We dressed up in a tux and ball gown to sing for the Retired Teachers Luncheon. And, how many times did we sing at church, The Grove and even a wedding? Sometimes we took the bells with us.” Truth would patiently sit at the piano until those little girls perfected the timing, harmony and dynamics. She would always give that little nod of approval and gratification.
For me, Truth was the very best friend I could ever wish to know. I cannot say how many times we lost track of time and seemed to still have more to talk about. I always valued her advice whether it was for marital problems, teenage rebellion or how to alter a sewing pattern. We sang in choirs together, shared poetry, swapped recipes and books. Truth was truly a wonderful woman. We will all miss her.
So sorry to miss her memorial service. My thoughts are with you Bob, Laurie, Rosemary, Jennifer and Paula, as well as the rest of the family.
