I am very sad to hear of Ruth's passing. She was in my class at Wm Tennent HS class of 1969. We are planning our 45th HS reunion and I was hoping she would attend, as she did not attend the 40th. She will be missed and I only have fond memories of Ruth. We will memorialize her at our HS reunion. I pray for God's comfort for her family!

Amy,
I am so very sorry for your loss. Aunt Ruth and Uncle Walter told my parents and they told me. I send my prayerful sympathies to you and Justin. I will keep you both in my thoughts and prayers during rosary.

Ruth was truly one of the most inspiring women I have ever known. Amy and Justin, no mom ever loved her children more than she did you two! She glowed whenever she spoke of your activities and plans.
Ruth did everything in her power for everyone around her. Always willing to drop her mountain of work to lend a kind ear, always jumping into any event at Supplee, handling details great and small, all while staying in the background and brushing off any praise. She was kind, strong, loving and faith-filled. I know that she helped all of us who worked with her to be better people for having known her.
Goodbye, Mrs. M., we will always love you!

Justin and Amy,

I first got to know your mother as she brought both of you on your very first days of school to my nursery school class. I knew then that she was a wonderful loving mom. As I got to know her better over the years at Supplee, I learned that she was simply through and through a wonderful loving person. I am so sorry for this devastating loss in your lives and want you to know that your very first teacher is holding you in my thoughts and prayers. My heart goes out to you both.
