In 1964, after the death of my mother, Aunty
Dorothy (as we called her) came to live with
my sisters and I, and became our Nanny.
It was Aunty Dorothy who first helped me
appreciate music, who taught me to write
and showed me how to love. She was a very
special servant of God who made a big impact
on me and everyone who knew her.
On August 12, 1989, Aunty Dorothy passed away.
She will always be remembered for her faith,
her smile, and her kind words for everyone.
RUTH CHEATER My name is Ruth - a `beautiful woman of God'. As a wife and mother I have never done anything
famous or won any awards. My only real `claim to fame' is that I love the Lord, I love to read the Bible, and I love to write.
Whenever I wrote anything, played a tune on the piano or tried to sing a song, no matter how simple, Aunty Dorothy would always say, "That was beautiful. Something really special."
That is why I put these poems together. I thank the Lord that I am still around to write and remember.
