I became the Lavender family?s neighbor when I was 5 years old. Consisting of the Lavenders, Pettits and Zacharys, my new, expanded family began. The latch to Ruth?s house was always unlocked, especially to the neighborhood children. She always had a snack or cookies for us when we came to call. She was an excellent cook and shared her recipes with us to pass on to our children. When she mailed goodies to Chance in Viet Nam, all the airmen couldn?t wait for him to open his box! I have treasured memories of our vacations together in the North Georgia mountains, the Carolina beaches, Charleston, and Underground Atlanta. Even after I moved to Atlanta, I kept the road hot between Columbia and Atlanta. I am thankful for all of her life-time stories. Even at age 96, she told me remembrances of her childhood and World War II. She always put others first, and I will forever miss my ?other mother.?
