Prayers and condolences to Ruth's many beautiful family members during this time of grief. She was well-loved; lived a long, busy, creative life with many friends and good times; laughed often; told great stories; and sadly lost beloved ones along her way. I smile imagining her joy at reuniting with them once again.

Our Dear Ruth,
We were so lucky to have you a part of our lives when we journeyed down here to Florida.You were like a mother and a grandmother to our boys. I Will never forget the adventures we took together driving around Ocala looking at all the beautiful magnolias , especially the rootbeer floats at steak and shake.Although we moved away you are all around us with all your beautiful ceramics. I will always remember the stories you told me and your great advice . We shared tears and laughter and could talk for hours and hours. I know you are smiling and shining down on us while you are up in heaven with Sam and Beverly.Rest in peace our dear Ruth we will never forget you.

Ruth you said I was like a daughter to you. You were like a mother to me. I loved our time together, especially our coffee, cookie and paper reading time. We liked reading the horoscopes and laughing about what it said. I love you and will see you again in heaven.
