I have known Rue eighty-five years.
That’s why I want to give her cheers.
She’s smart and brave, a golfer too.
Relatives, friends and dogs LOVE Rue!
As a sister, she is the tops.
Never ever her kindness stops.
Happy Birthday, Ruella dear,
and many more to make us cheer!

I was at my grandmother's 85th birthday party. She was listening to, in that crowded mobile home of my aunt, three conversations at once and joining in where appropriate. For the next 5 years, she deteriorated into Alzheimer's and being in her death at 90.
