To Jack and your entire family,
Being a part of your extended family for going on 60 years I feel I have also lost a second Mother.. I have fond memories of Ruth and her great will to go on and her great love of her family. She is in a much better place and will be joining all of her family and friends who have passed before her. My thoughts are with all your family..
Your friend,
Ron Carlson and family..
