One of the most beautiful, and amazing Ladies, that my wife, and I ever met. Ruth, gave me a heavy blanket that she knitted as a gift. I have used it, since the day she gave it to me, and always thank her, before going to sleep. It's something I shall always treasure from Ruth, as I treasure our friendship, the memories, and great times we shared. Ruth was indeed, a very special gift from God. My wife Linda Lee, and I will never know what we did, to deserve such a beautiful gift, but we thank God, for having known her. Always in our prayers, and in our hearts, with love. <3 James n Linda Lee Bianco. SC.

Ruth was truly an amazing Lady. Friendly, warm, and beautiful, and we considered Ruth our family. Ruth made me a very special blanket, to use on cold night's, which is my favorite blanket., and I always thank her, whenever I use it. She still is, and always will be, in my thoughts, my prayers, and my heart. Ruth will always be missed, and I think of her often. She shall always remain in my thoughts, my prayers, and in my heart always, until we meet once again.
