I just heard of the loss of Ruth and wanted to send my sympathy to her family. I worked with her in the pharmacy at Revco/CVS from when I started in 1986 until she retired from there. She was a wonderful, fun lady and a joy to work with. Although I have not seen her in a few years, I will always remember her. I am so sorry for your loss.

I was so fortunate to have worked with Ruthie at Revco/CVS for many years. She brought nothing but joy and laughter to our work days. I know her smiling face will be truly missed by many. May all of you find peace and comfort in the days ahead.
