Foster family: I became friends with Ruth some 20 years ago ,after she had retired from teaching; but she was a teacher to me every day of our friendship. She taught by example and I will carry her "lessons" and advice with me forever.She was ever the teacher to all who attended her memorial service with the carefully chosen songs and readings. I thank God for the blessing of Ruth in my life.

Jack, Mary, and Burt~
It's been many years since I've seen your mother, but I will always remember the warm, caring atmosphere your Mom created whenever I visited your home.
You have been very fortunate to have had Ruth for a mother.

Mrs. Foster,

I only got to meet you in the hospital visits while my Dad was also staying there. You were very blessed to have the family you did. Whenever I stopped by it seemed all your family was there. Although you will be missed I can only thank you for having the family you did. They are precious people... just like you.

PS Say hello to my Dad and Mom.
