My thoughts are with my cousins, the O'Neill family. I haven't seen Aunt Ruthie in many years but I do remember her fondly. I particularly remember visiting her with my dad and my brother on Easter Sunday mornings as well as her visits to our house, with Uncle Jim, every year on New Years Eve. She always seemed very fun loving to me.

My best to you.
