Just learned about Ruth....I'm so sorry to hear of her passing. Ruth used to babysit me as a child. She had a technique of rubbing my nose to get me to fall asleep...or so I've been told. She had an infectious laugh. A few years ago, I had a dream about Ruth and her sister Betty. I even wrote it down in some detail, so I would have it for later. Ruth was wearing a long green velvet dress(always pictured her in green) with shoulder straps with a slit up the side with diamond earrings and necklace. She had a golden tan with her hair swept back and I thought, what a beautiful cousin I had. She will be missed....!!!
