My wife Sue and I have been privileged to visit with Ruth and serve her Holy Communion on Fridays for the past several years while she was living at the Gorham House. We looked forward to our visits with her. She always had a bag of nuts and chocolates ready for us. Ruth had such a sharp memory right up to the end. She enjoyed listening to the Red Sox games on the radio, and talking about how they were doing. We also enjoyed talking with her about any trips we were taking, and she shared stories of the many places she'd visited with her husband as well. Ruth so appreciated her daughter, Marilyn, who was such a loving support to her, taking her to many appointments and lunches. We are going to miss Ruth, and are so sorry that we are unable to attend her visiting hours. She was truly a special person.
