His momma loved him, so did the girls...


But then one day his sparkle went dim...

His feet stopped running; his hair grew thin...

Our little world he made so bright...

We lost our son late in the night...


From that day on my tears did flow...

Until I realized the sky would glow...

And late at night from the stars above...

My Baby Blue Angel was sending his love...

She’d hit up friends and strangers for Budweiser beer (“for her duck”) and Kool cigarettes (“for later”). Ruthie became the subject of documentaries and a musi...
