Although I did not know Ruth personally, I have known her husband for a long time. I pray that the Lord's Spirit of comfort will be with him and his family during this time.

Skip and Family,
My prayers and thoughts go out to you in this time of mourning. I will always remember Grandmom Kennedy for her warm welcomes at the beach, the way she always had some snacks and drinks for us at happy hour, and the way she would always chat when we passed along the walkway. Ocean City will never be the same without her.

The world has lost a truly gracious and generous woman. Strong, proud, and wise, she was a guiding light to all who knew her and a very wonderful mother-in-law to me.
