I have many nice memories of Ruth. She was always wonderful to my grandmother (Viola), who loved her very much. I'm sure they're having coffee and laughing together in heaven right now. Your mother was a great lady. We all will miss her.

Dear John, Peter, Ron & Greg,
Your Mom was a wonderful woman with whom I had a real bond. She could always make my day just by talking with her. I know I will miss her great sense of humor and loving ways. I wish I could be there but at this time I just can't make it. I will be with you in spirit and prayer tomorrow.

Love to you all,
Cousin Pat
