Many many years ago...I had the pleasure of meeting Ruth. Back when her family lived on Sayles Avenue in Pawtucket, RI. Mrs. Arruda Harrop was our neighborhood Mom whose door was ALWAYS open to us kids.
God Bless you Ruth and your wonderful family.

I am going to miss Ruth a lot. We had a lot of fun and shared many good times. I enjoyed especially working on our vegetable garden together.
She is now rejoicing with the Angles

To The Family,
Your Mom was a best friend of mine. I miss her terribly. I'm just so grateful I had the pleasure of loving and knowing her and getting to meet all of you. I know for certain she is rejoicing with the angels and with her Heavenly Father.
