It was very sad news to hear about the passing of cousin Ruth. The last time I saw her was on a cold December night in 2012 when she drove the 30 plus miles to Batavia alone to pay respect to my step-mom. She was an amazing lady. My father Richard Schauf had wonderful stories about childhood memories with cousin Ruth. She and her family were always kind to me as young boy. All our love and best regards to her family.
