Ruth Mildred Devine Finlay

Okay, Mommy. Now your two sons and a son-in-law are with you and Dad'n. Who knows when I'll get there. I miss all of you. I somehow never thought I'd be a widow. Now it's just us four girls, two in CT and I don't see much of Leslie, one in FL, and one in TX. Typing on here is not working very well. Love, your number one Stanley Catherine Finlay Samose

Mommie,

Happy, happy, happy Birthday! Kiss and hug my Dad'n and My Jackie for me.

I just spent over an hour writing a birthday message to you, then I clicked on something so I could add a picture and something happened. It disappeared completely. I have been crying my heart out. I don't take disappointment very easily at this age.

Hi, Mamasita,

Remember when I used to call you that? Well, it has been three years today since your passing. I have been thinking about you.

2008 brought you 2 new great-grandsons. Nathan John Samose, and I don't know the name of Rob Malootian's...

I will always love you Mom, I know you are in heaven now.
Love your son, Robert

Ruth - I did not have the privilege to know you, but I thank you for your daughter Leslie. She is a dear friend, a blessing in my life, and a wonderful child of God. My sincere condolences go out to your family and you are all in my thoughts and prayers.

Grace and Peace to Ruth and her children.

Dear Mom,

I praise and thank our Heavenly Father that you are now with him, Jesus, and Dad'n. I remember so many good times as your eldest. Like going to visit Auntie Ruth and your grandmother when I was two years old. I remember you couldn't believe I remembered that when I was about 10. I also remember going to nursery school when I was two years old at Fort Monroe around the time Leslie was born. Our good times most recently were when you and Auntie Dot came for a visit back in...

Dear Ruth,
You brought great joy to me by lovingly inviting me into the family. Your beautiful smile captured my heart. Love, Lil

Dear Mom,
Thank you for investing your heart and soul into each of us, your children, and for all the sacrifices you made. It wasn't until I was a mother myself with teenagers that I really appreciated what you went through for us! I miss you very much. Give Dad'n a hug for me. Love you forever, Leslie
