Mrs. Ruth was a blessing to me and my girls. She was my childrens babysitter but became a great friend , mother and grandmother. She became someone I could depend on and a great support system. She often guided me with life decisions. My prayers go out to the Ronnie, Ashley, Myeshia and the rest of the family. She will be greatly missed.

To have known Ruth, or Mom as I came to know her, was to know the gentlest of souls. Her kindness, inner beauty, intelligence and wit will always be a reminder to me of someone I should aspire to be. All my love and prayers to Veronica, her husband and family. They are truly one of her greatest legacies.

I did not know Mrs. DeCambra personally, but I know her daughter, Veronica, who is a caring and thoughtful person and I feel that those qualities were instilled by her mother, who Veronica loved very, very much. My thoughts and prayers are with Veronica at this time and her family. Her mom is now with the Lord and the Angels in heaven.
