My Dear Sam, nothing can relieve the loss of a loving life-partner as Ruth, but once the initial pain lightens, I trust you will find comfort in the company of your extended family at St Mary of Vernon. May Gods hands on your shoulders soothe and guide you, and may the lifetime of memories you and Ruth made together bring you peace. Now is the time for Ruth to keep our Savior company, until we all can join them for eternity in Heaven.
Yours in Christ,
Linda Romansic
