I loved Ruth Ann so much!! She and I worked together doing hair at Good Shepherd Villa in Arizona. She taught me much over the years and I will always treasure her friendship.
She especially loved the music of the Gaithers and we would have that playing in the shop. It was a wonderful time. I can still hear her laugh and see her smile. Even though it’s been years since I’ve seen her, I will miss her greatly here on earth, and am thankful to have been her friend and to have spoken to her...
