So sorry for your loss

Our family has gotten to know Mrs. Downs over the years during her frequent visits to Baltimore. She was a lovely, lively, and intelligent woman who dearly loved her family and friends. She will be greatly missed by all. Our deepest condolences to her family.

My prayers are with you and your family.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

To the family - I frequently spoke with Mrs. Downs at The Beverwyck (as recently as 2 wks. ago), while visiting with my own mom. The two of them spoke often of their ties to the Binghamton area . . . my mom graduated from North High & your loved one from Johnson City, I discovered. They enjoyed reminiscing about the "old days" in Binghamton. I found Mrs. Downs to be just DELIGHTFUL . . . sweet, friendly, always smiling! Was VERY saddened to learn of her passing. I will, indeed, miss...

Grandma was a true lady to all who knew her. A wife, mother, sister, grandmother, and above all devoted friend, she always showed genuine and loving interest in all those around her. From the high seas, rest easy Grandma. We love you. Much Love, John

I met Ruth at the Terrace, where she brightened my mother's life, and mine, with her warmth, humor, and affection. I'm grateful to have known her.


I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your loved one. May our Heavenly Father provide strength and comfort to the family during this time of grief. For he is near to those broken at heart. Ps 34:17,18

The memories of Aunt Ruth will always be special. She was so caring-always wanting to know about everyone in the family. Find comfort in knowing that she was thought about often.
