It's been the hardest 5 1/2 months of my entire life. Ever since you flew away, my heart cries for you every night. My tears grow more and more with every passing day, that I don't see your bright and loving smile...every day that I don't hear your soft and beautiful voice...every day that I don't feel your warm and comforting hugs. I know I have to wait, but sometimes I just don't find it fair. You were the light of my life, and 5 months ago, that light went out. My heart breaks every time I think of that night, I feel my body slowly shutting down. How am I supposed to live my life without you in it?
  You didn't get to see enough of my life, what I would have brought you. Twenty-two years was not long enough for me. The time just flew by...and now it's gone. I can never take anything back, and I can only hope and pray that you would forgive me for any arguments that we had, any hurtful words we said. I forgive you every day, and I hope that you will forgive me too. I will never stop loving you. Until the day I die, you will live in my heart. Until the day I am in your arms again. I love you, always and forever Nanny. <3

  I created this memorial page in honor of my beautiful, loving grandmother, my Nanny, Dorothy Ruth Haag. She was born on November 17, 1922 in St. Louis, Missouri. She lived a long joyous life, full of family, friends and everlasting love and faith. She and my grandfather, Johnny A. Haag, were married on January 25, 1955 and were soulmates for almost 20 years, untill he suddenly passed away in 1974. Together they had 2 children, Carol and John...and they gave Ruthie 5 wonderful grandchildren, who loved her every day of their lives. Sadly about 3 years ago, she developed the horrible disease, Alzheimer's. She was so strong and fought it for a long time...but that time took it's toll, and on October 15th, 2011...she went to sleep to be with Jesus, with all of her close family and friends by her side. And after nearly 37 years, finally back to my Grandpa Johnny. My Nanny's passing has left me and my family broken-hearted, and all I can do is look at these pictures, and remember the sound of her beautiful voice. The night she passed away, she was able to Spread Her Wings and Fly, able to do everything she couldn't before, and she will be Forever in my Heart. I love you Nanny, and I miss you every single day.
