    Once Ruth Ann had made her final wishes clear to everyone, she was “busted” out of the rehab facility (no weapons involved) by the fab 3. Momsie would not want a long drawn out dramatic obit, (insert dramatic eye roll…) We shall “let her go” with proud and heart felt chop chop fling birches!! (You had to be there!) You fought long and you fought hard, so very proud of you! Peace out momsie! Stay sassy! We love you! Toots till next time!!
