My deepest sympathy on the loss of a very fine lady. As a very shy child she always made me feel comfortable and welcome in her home.

Deepest Sympathy Traci and Jim on Ruth's passing. What a treasure of a lady. I was so happy to see her and you Jim at my mom's memorial service in Latham last year it was so good to see you both after so many years. Well, mom was waiting for her at God's door. Sure they will start a lady's club there now.So many great times in Schroon Lake summers over the years.So sorry I will not be at her service. Will keep everyone in my prayers.
