Ruth was a client of mine when I owned Crown of Glory Salon in Springfield. She was a special Lady. I so enjoyed her stories about her family, and I tried to be a shoulder to her during her Husband's illness. We shared many a tear and smiles. She was so sweet and I often told her she had such a class about her that I envied. When she walked into a room - such elegance! I feel very privileged to have known her. Barbara Blankenship
