Dear Del, Agnes, and Diane,
Thank you so much (Agnes) for calling me today. I am so sorry to learn of your mother's death last summer. I didn't know, and I can't believe my dear friend, Ruthie, is gone. We met some 30 years ago, and I loved her like a sister. Ruthie and I shared more fun and laughs over the years, and hearing of her death today leaves me shocked and terribly sad. We didn't talk as often as we used to, and I wish I could've spent just one more day with her.
In fact, I'm upset at myself for not being there to support all of you last August and to say a final "goodbye" to my good friend. Ruthie was a very special person, a huge spark in my life, and her passing will leave a nagging void in my heart.
I will always remember the wonderful times we shared. You know what a character she was, and I so enjoyed her company, conversation, support, wisdom, humor, and especially, her Italian cooking, more than I can ever express.
I consider myself lucky to have known her, to have had her in my life, and I will miss her crazy, loving, and cheerful spirit.
I also know, firsthand, just how much Ruthie loved and cherished each of YOU--her beautiful daughters. She talked (and bragged) about you (and her grandchildren) incessantly, every time we were together. You meant the world to her, and she was a proud and fierce protector, like every mother should be.
I'm really going to miss Ruth, but today I will pause, say a prayer, dry my tears, and celebrate her life and our long and wonderful friendship.
Please keep in touch.
Love,
Noreen

I'm very sadden to hear of the loss of your mother. She was such a lovely person, I enjoyed sitting with her at the club and talking to her. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this most difficult time.
Love you

Ruthie was a great lady and a lot of fun. The Saunders Family send their prayers. Ruthie and my mother Dotty Amendola were best friends growing up in Cambridge and Ruthie fixed Court and Dot up on a BLIND DATE and they married in 1953 and had Bill, Bob, Jean and Rick. I guess all of us owe it all to Ruthie! We will miss her!
