Tom, Jane and David.....the loss of a loved one leaves a void in your heart that can never be filled. However; an angel has arrived to watch over you all the days of your life. Knowing that she is there is some comfort in this difficult time. She's with Mom, Dad and Gram and with time we will all join them. We've all lost a special lady in our lives. We can only console ourselves knowing she is pain free and has everlasting life in Heaven.

The two years Ruthie and I shared our experiences helped me through some very tough times. Her strength and determination, creativity and love will live on in the hearts of all who knew her. But how much each will all also feel her loss, my deepest sympathies to those who have been a part of her life for so much longer.

Tom, I wish I knew just what to say, just know you are in my heart, "I am here".
