**Peaches, my ole'favorite tree**

Under the old peach tree
Hearing the buzz of bees
Looking up at pink blossoms so sweet
Watching pink petals fall at my feet.
Under the old peach tree almost fallen down
I can hear every sound as the sun goes down.
I hear somewhere the song of a mocking bird
The sweetest song I ever heard.
As I lean against the old peach tree
I think of things that used to be
This old tree brings me back to my childhood
And the many peaches I ate that were so good,the dreams I shared with you while so tall you stood.
Old peach tree I wish you could talk,
Whisper to me some of your thoughts
But instead you fill my heart with your beauty
As I smell the perfume of your blossoms so fruity.
I wonder how much longer you'll be here.
How much longer my heart you'll cheer
I hope to lean against you many a spring
And feel the peace each year that you bring.

Grandma Ruth, had many a favorite peach, she seen one in each face she would meet.She enjoyed so much when I would show up with a peck of my farm fresh peaches each year.

Shirley, Jean, Dale and all of our huge family and its friends, so many a life Ruth Mileham has touched, so many of us better because of it.
May we all take a breath and find a place within to be more like her, loving to our family and a friend to all.She was my favorite Peach.
In his faith, Allan S. Ridley Sr.
