To the Families of Higgins:
We in Central Everett Congregation has so many humorous and enjoyable experiences that we shared with Ruth.

To my dear cousins,

As children our association was limited by geography, but I fondly remembered the few trips to Long Island and your visit to Red Hook, climbing the apple trees and pestering my sisters. As an adult I certainly enjoyed Aunt Ruth, Uncle George, Uncle Ed and all the Higgins guys when I did get to see you. And I will always be thankful for Robert's help with my sister Sally in San Francisco! Taking Dad to see Aunt Ruth in SC was a highlight as well as visiting her...

She will definitely be missed and she is now with my dad, her brother Jack and trying to keep the peace with my mom, Norma.

Jim and Pam and family,

I am so sorry to hear of the loss of Jim's mother.

We so look forward to the time when death will no longer have it's hold on mankind.

We want to share our sorrow in hearing about Ruth's death.
We have many memories about her and the one I really cherish is her glee about our lunch at Hooter's and how it would shock our friends. Of course it didn't but it gave her pleasure to think so.

She was a valued friend and we will have many things to remember her by.
