(Left to Right) Sister, Ruthie; mother-in-law, Anne Craft; mother Ruth and Laurie at the supper table.
On Wednesday, December 6th, my mother, Ruth E. Smail Miller, reached a milestone. She had arrived at the age of ninety-four years of age. I wondered about such things for she had failed in health during the four years of taking care of my stepfather, Bob Miller. He had passed away last April of cancer and mom did so much for him with his condition. The efforts weighed heavily upon her. She became frail and has been dealing with some early dementia. (My father, Allen Smail, passed away on June 20, 1999.)
Mother was born in 1929 and lived in Armstrong County, Pennsylvania all of her life. many years were lived on the road between Cochran’s Mill and Rearick’s Ford. Oh, to have seen the many changes over her time.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!!!!!!
