I was so sorry to hear of Ruth passing. She was only my neighbor for a short period but whenever she would see me coming back from my morning walk she would always stop and we would have a few words to say to each other. She always asked me to stop by sometime and have a visit with her when I was on my way home. I was only able to do that one time and I am so glad that I did. I am sure she is resting in peace now and I will always look toward her apartment when I go back on my walks....
