Steve, when you stopped by the 18's on the 26th I felt a special bond with you, None of us can lose a loved one of so many years without having a deep seated pain in that loss. A hole left by the spirit who has moved on. Ruthie is to you what my Phyllis is to me. She is your anchor and your sail, the reason to be still and the reason to rejoice. I could see that her soul drives you and your love for her soul shines through that motivation you have. I pray you find peace, and that the universe will keep you motivated to look for the love in life. With brotherly love, Mike Schoppenhorst - "Shoppy"

My sister Ruthie was an angel in my life, and in the lives of so many others. I will miss her "Aunt Ruthie" hugs, her innocent charm, her acceptance of all people, her compassion, and her endearing smile. She was great fun, highly talented, and gave it all to everyone around her. What a blessing! I love you and miss you, little sis. Until we meet again.......

My heart was broken when I heard you had gone.
You brought such joy and happiness to everyone and your kind listening ear.
You always told me "God brought you to our big extended family and I love you so much".
I will miss you and your kindness life will never be the same we will never feel the love from your big hugs any longer You always made me feel special Ruthie I will deeply miss you. I know your the angel that watches over the wee ones so that they are safe.
I love you Ruthie my life will ever be the same without your big smile and your heart of gold.
