Dear Susie, Bronwyn, and Gwynnie:
Thank you for sharing your beloved and extraordinary mother with me. I wish you peace in the days ahead, and I know that Ruth's abiding love will give you strength and inspiration the rest of your lives.

Ruth lives on for me as I recall the time we watched the roaring waves at the Presidio in San Francisco. She faced the crashing waves with exhilaration and courage, and I took note of her example. Thank you, Ruth, for your guidance, generosity, and affection; your influence on me is lasting and profound.

Kind regards to the entire family,
Ana Nuncio
