Not sure what to say?

my dearest mother i miss you more n more each day love kathy

I am so sorry to learn of Ruth's passing. I so enjoyed doing her hair at Hair Station and shopping in Short Stuff. She always made me smile and I'm glad to have known her. With my sympathy,

I so sorry to have heard of Mrs. Cleary's passing. We were away and I just found out today at a visit with my Mom in Heights. The corner house that had the bench around the tree will always be the Cleary house and the friendly wave and smile from your Mom from the front steps will always be a memory of how wonderful a woman she was.

Dear Cleary family,
I was probably about 12 years old when I first met the Cleary family who lived across the street from my Aunt Ruth and Uncle Jack Buck.
My life has been filled with many meetings with Ruth. I was a nurse who took care of your Dad in the 70's. I then moved to Haddon Heights in the 90's and frequented her store on many occasions. It was always fun to share memories of my cousins with her. And then there was the Fourth of July Committee that Jeff and I were on with...

So sorry to hear of you mother's passing. We are unable to make it to the services today, but please know we are thinking of you.
Wishing you many blessings and much peace,
Louisa and Dom Latela

So sorry to hear about your Mom passing away. I will always remember how happy she was and always willing to talk and visit with us at A Pocketful of Posies. She'll be missed.
Ruth will be in my thoughts and prayers.
