My thoughts and prayers are with you Ron & Judy and the entire Hoelscher family at this most difficult time. I know that she is in Heaven smiling down on all of you.
I remember when our kids were small and no matter what time of night it was you could always drop off the kids and Ruth would babysit so we could all go for a ride on the Harley's.
