I'm so sorry to hear of Ada Ruth's passing. My heart just breaks for the family. Ada Ruth and I knew each other a long time. I just loved her and Mel. They were always smiling and laughing. My prayers and sympathy go out to the whole family. I will miss her so much! I have so many wonderful memories of her and Mel. She baked her heart out at Christmas making 900 or more cookies to give out. We'd always laugh over that. I send my love to the whole family.

to Ada Ruth's family...I am so sorry..your mom/grandmom was a true angel in my life. when I was distraught about who to leave my new baby with when I returned to work, she knocked on my door. She was the most wonderful woman... she kept my household and my sanity and my marriage together in some stressful times. When ever I am folding limp old tee shirts I think about how she could make them look crisp and brand new. Kevin has definitely got her ability to gently laugh away tensions and see humor. I am sorry I lost touch. She was the absolute best... and a real light shining in this world. I thank God for her presence in our lives. and Your dad was great too!
