Ruthie, I came across your book by accident at my local library. Something told me to bring it home and read it. It was an inspiration to me because of all the good you gave to those around you and because my sister, like you, died of cancer at the age of 42. I miss her dearly. Her name was Gracie Alvarado. As I read the book, "The Little Way of Ruthie Leming, I felt as if I had known your family. Rest well up in Heaven and tell my sister Gracie I miss her dearly.

Ruthie,
I was so blessed to have you as my cousin. I always looked up to you as a shining example of not only what a woman, wife, friend and mother should be but also what a human being should be.

Though you may not be with us, your memory will remain through every person's life you touched. My love goes out to Mike,...

I am so thankful that I had the pleasure of knowing such a beautiful lady inside and out. She gave me words of comfort just a few years ago when I was facing the loss of my mother. She was a woman that no matter what she was faced with she was going to make the best of it. To know that she is no longer in pain is the comfort that God has left us with. You know that she is with our father in heaven and is praising him. She has met her reward for the life that she lived here on earth, her...
