I will miss Ruth. She was always happy to hear of our family activities and rejoice in any good news. She was a wonderfully loving mom and grandma. She loved her family to the moon and back and took much pleasure in everyone. Larry and I loved stopping in the Oak Room to see her ensconced at a table with all of her sisters. They sure had fun. She was kind and had a good sense of humor and she passed that on to her kids and grandkids. It was a pleasure to know her.
