Eva Rutland passed away this morning at 2AM at the age of 95. She was ready to go and she has had such a wonderful life. Still, I was not ready to lose her. I don’t think I could ever be ready but I am happy she’s not in pain anymore. She is with grandpa and her beloved parents and cousins and I hope they understand what a special person they have. Grandma I love you.

          My mother Ginger Rutland and I are continuing grandma’s legacy. We are putting the final touches on her final book “the Trouble With Being a Grandma” and adapting “When We Were Colored” into a play.
