Ruth Helen Avila

Ruthie, you will always be in my heart and memories.

I'm so sorry I was not aware of Ruth's passing. She was the sweetest woman I have ever known. I met her at my boutique and was so impressed with how well she looked in 1940's vintage dresses that I asked her to be a model for me which she accepted. Red was her favorite color and I made sure she always modeled that color. You will be forever in my heart my friend.

Rebekah and Rachael,

It is with a heavy heart that i found out about your mother's death. I want you to know we had a unique friendship, and I loved her dearly. We didn't speak often, but when we did it was like time had stood still. We would pick up where we left off. I lost my dad in October. I miss him terribly but carry him in my heart everywhere I go. I know you will do the same. She was a brilliant woman and a tremendous friend.

I was so sad about your passing. I'll always remember your smiling face and you coming to see me in jewelry. Always dressed so beautiful and definitely in red. You were one very sweet and caring and elegant lady. My condolences to your family. You will truly be missed

So sad to hear of your passing.

I am saddened to hear of the passing of Ruth! She was my favorite nurse to work with during our time at the Medical Group...she will be missed by many!

You were always our favorite nurse at the Medical Group. Your work ethics taught many of us how to apply these ethics to this day!
You will be missed!
