So sad to hear of Ruth s and Kenny s passing!! They were just a joy to my parents, Ray and Faye Ferris and a great influence on my sister and I. Their laughter and fun times were contagious! We have pictures of them and mom and dad together. Kenny was dad s best friend and oh what a time they are all having together now!! Life is sweet and precious but more so in death.....we all go home...young again, no sickness or pain and be with our Lord, family and friends for eternity! God bless you all....we will all meet again!

Ruth was truly a joy to know. She was a Ex-in-law, but always stayed a friend.

I have so many treasured memories of her and those will always give me comfort.

She lived with so much love to give, and that love will never end because it will go on in the hearts of all of us who knew her.

Ruth has found peace and eternal rest now that she is with her beloved Kenny.

They both will be missed.
Keep on dancing.
