Dear Norma Jo & John,
So sorry to hear about Aunt Ruth's passing. She was a wonderful Aunt and I'll always remember the good times we had at Waneta Lake and on Charles St. I'll also remember her great sense of humor. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your families at this time of sorrow.
Sincerely,
Cousin Terry.

Just wanted to say how sorry I am about the passing of your Mom. I am sure she is happy with your Dad and of course Louie. I still think about him often. I wish I could be there but I am currently in Florida. Just know that my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Hi Family,
I am so sorry about Aunt Ruth and I wish I could be there. Margie just wrote me and told me. I am on the way home but I won’t be able to be there to celebrate her life with all of you. I have great memories of her and Ken and Norma taking their Sunday rides and stopping by the house. She would make the best cakes and I would stop while I was working to see her and have cake. She was so cute.
Again I am sorry and I will see everyone when I get home.
