Dear Glenna, Brenda, Caroline, Jerry, David & Ricky: I am so sorry to hear of Ruth's passing. When we were growing up in the Old Quarry she was like a second mother to me and my siblings. Of course you know how close she was with my Mother. May God bless you and give you comfort in your time of sorrow.
