I took care of Miss Ruth when she was a patient in a local hospital where i worked. I also recieved an autographed baseball card of her when she played for the South Bend Blue sox, She was the nicest lady and so kind even at her lowest moments. I will always remember her beautiful smile and kind words of thanks for helping her.
