I just wanted to say how sorry I am to hear of Mrs. Ruggles passing. I hope that you may find some comfort in knowing that she is now home with God and will be waiting for the day you will be together again.

This is Providence Ilsey Ice great-granddaughter of Mildred, or as I called her, Gigi. I will always remember her and how fond her letters would be in her cards. I will miss you forever Gigi!

My father and John were cousins. As such, we received Mildred's Christmas letter, something I cherished each year. From my little KY town (800 people) I traveled the world with her through these letters. I credit her with my love of international news, culture and business. I've been blessed to live and do business internationally and am sorry that I never told her of her influence on my life.

Read about Mildred's death in the Pittsburgh PA Tribune Review Sunday paper.

I remember Mildred Ruggles as my wonderful, caring Girl Scout Leader many years ago in Lexington, KY. As I recall, our troop even had a fund raiser where we sold bags of Col. Sanders secret spices, etc. that folks could use in their own kitchens!

I send my sympathy to Marlona and all the family members, as does my mother, also named Mildred, who lives in a care facility near me.
