Ruth was a sweet lady . I've done her hair for many years as did some others , but one time I told her my husband and my two sons drove in the demo derby in Harrington De. Delaware State Fair . She thought that was the best thing and every summer she would ask me if they drove and what theme their cars were I thought that was so cute her asking me every year and to hear her laugh about it made my day ! Well Ruth your an angel Rest in peace. We will miss you Colleen at Town&Country Hair Salon .....
