Joe, Michael, Marybeth, Timothy, Joseph and Susan,
We are so sorry to hear of your Loving Wife and Mother's passing.
She was always so vibrant and full of life before she became ill.
It was a pleasure being neighbors for decades on Carriage Lane.
May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

To all of the Shields family, George and I are truly sorry to hear of Ruths passing. Even though we moved away over 30 years ago, she always remembered us at Christmas time with an update on her family. Then, of course, with Facebook, we were able to share family photos over the past years. You all are in our thoughts and prayers. With sincere sympathies, The Messinas
