Tom & family...I'm so sorry for your loss. No matter how old you are...loving memories of your MOM will crop up from time to time, and you will miss her. But... she can't be in a better happier place. Talk to her and she will hear you, and maybe give you a sign. It happens! Love Aunt Judy

I had the great pleasure of getting to know Ruth during my brief time working at Keystone. I enjoyed the time we spent together going through the pages of the books she like to color…she would humor me as I ooh’ed & awe’d over the butterflies even though she preferred the snakes & frogs! I know her cheerful disposition, friendly smile, & kind words will be missed by many!

I want to extend my condolences and prayers to Ruth's family and friends who will miss her. She and I have had many long chats in the morning while I cared for her. She was my horticulturalist. Each time I had an issue with a plant of mine at home, she would offer me advice with sincerity and knowledge. I will miss my conversations with her and will miss her cheerful smile. I still look around outside and still see her there. She will always be there in her plants. And every time I see the plant she helped me keep alive at home, I can remember that it was because of her. We shared many ideas and stories and talked about her love for art. She always had a way to offer her love to the other residents. Whether it was a rub on the back, a touch of her hand on theirs, a smile or just a sincere, friendly hello, she was a giver; and I was fortunate to have been there to be part of that. May the Lord, our God bless us here with wonderful memories and a peace that surpasses man's understanding. God bless you.

My Sincere Sympathy to Ruthy's sons and their family. I grew up across the street from Ruthy and can't help but think about her loud laugh and love of the outdoors. She was very proud of her boys and no doubt she will be missed by her family and friends.
