Not sure what to say?

Dearest Ruth, It is your 96th birthday today I wish you were here to wish you all the best. I never had the chance to let you meet my daughter who still cherishes all the presents and good wishes you sent to her. May you rest in peace. Britta and Sigrid

Dear Sweet Ruth, thankful for the great friendship between you and my mom, Olive "Ollie" and the stories you both shared. You let us move in with you in the early 80's when I was just a teen. I remember whenever you spoke of your late husband Chuck, you'd say "I LOVED him, Passionately" and your face lit up as you said it. So thrilled you made it to Ireland, I'm sad I never saw you again. I'm certain there are spectacular New Years Eve parties in Heaven in where you celebrate, probably...

Happy birthday, Ruth. We'll think of you on July 4, always. We feel grateful to have known you. The Twins from Germany.

I am very sorry to hear this, Steve. I wish nothing but the best for you and your sister.

Sorry for your loss god bless you an your family

We started first grade together & graduated from EHS together. Lots of memories of those years. Peace to you & the family. Love Dorthey Thompson

What a lovely obituary. My condolences go out to you, Lynn, your brother Steve, and the nieces she has left behind. What a strong willed and courageous woman to have traveled so far, by herself. I hope her dreams were fulfilled in Ireland. Peace be with you Ruth Finnegan! "Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal"
Much love, Chris Wilstein

My sympathy for both you and Steve for your loss, Lynn.
