Our thoughts are with you Don & Judy.
You were always there for Ruth and I'm sure she was aware of that. She loved you both and her grandchildren very much.
I'll never forget how excited she was to be present at Haley's wedding ceremony. That was truly a mitzvah on your part to bring her there even though it meant a lot of arranging on your parts.
She'll always be there watching over your and in your hearts.
