Not sure what to say?

I still miss your sharp wit, your amazing stories and our shared time together. May you always rest in peace.

Eight long years without hearing your voice, seeing your lovely smile and watching you live your life to the fullest has been a great loss for me and so many others that considered you a friend. Rest in peace, my friend.

It's been awhile since we've talked and laughed and I miss you very much.

Ruth was a wonderful next door neighbor for some 30 years. Her children and our children were in the same age category and our daughter Sherrie and Ruth' daughter Mary were best friends. Yes it was a wonderful 30 years.

My world was brighter with your presence in it. I will miss you deeply.

I worked with Ruth for several years, along with her daughter, Carol, and my daughter, Karen, with the Girl Scouts. Have many happy memories those many years ago.

You will be forever in the heart of your Spanish daughter.

Mrs. Dirks was a faithful supporter of Shakespeare Garden for many years. We will miss her letters and heartwarming memories of WSC and the Garden.
