Ruth was a wonderful friend and neighbor. She would light up my day every time I met her. She was part of so many pleasant memories and she will be terribly missed. My condolences to finkelstein and schneider families.

Uncle Lester, Barbara & Allan,

Although words cannot express the loss we feel for Auntie Ruthie, we hope in some way to ease the loss you feel.

May you find comfort and strength from family and friends to help you during this very difficult time.

Memories Keep Those We Love Close To Us Forever.

You are in our hearts and love you.
