I had both tears and a smile when I read about Ruth in the paper. I worked for many years with your Mom at Beth Bishop. We had way too many laughs and fun times. She was always giggling about something.
Her laugh was infectious. I remember having lunch at her house with all her beloved animals. She was a terrific woman. I am sure she leaves a huge hole in your heart that can never be filled. Thanks for the memories Ruthie!!
