Dear Urban and Family,

Ruth's memorial service today was beautiful, a meaningful tribute to a beloved wife and mother. I will miss seeing and talking with Ruth at church. Her kindness was so evident, and she always had that special twinkle in her eyes. You are in my prayers.

Blessings,

Because our families lived such a great distance apart, the visits were always so special. I will always remember Aunt Ruth as my very whimsical aunt who always had a bubbly spirit about her. She will be missed by all of us. Bill,Sue and Freisthler family.
