I have so many fond memories of growing up outside of Nashville and most of those included my best playmate Ruth. We would play for hours at Mama Pauline’s house on our Sunday family gatherings, many days spent during the week as her mother, Edith Dell kept us instead of daycare. There were countless mornings of her mom’s famous cinnamon toast. Yum! Ruth grew up to be such a sensitive and loving lady and she will be missed by everyone that had the good fortune of knowing her. To Newton, Janice, and Turney, I wish I could be there to comfort you, but please know that my thoughts and prayers will be with you now and the days ahead. I take comfort that Ruth and I will be together again someday and I pray that the same comfort will surround you too. Cousin Jeannie

Newton, mere words cannot express my sympathy for your loss. Ruth was like a sister, I had known her, loved her, laughed with her for ever. This is a difficult time, memories will give you the strength to have Ruth in your heart forever.
