I remember in 2014 after I found that my mother in law passed away, I talked to Ruthie and when I went Ohio to the cemetery stopping to see Ruthie after. Her words making me feel better and keeping in touch with her following. She´s such a good, caring, loving person. She has been in my heart since. So sorry of her passing and always missing talking to her. Love you Ruthie.
