Ruth C. French

I'd like the memory of me
To be a happy one.
I'd like to leave an afterglow
Of smiles when day is done..

I'd like to leave an echo
Whispering softly down the ways,
Of happy times, and laughing times
And bright and sunny days.

I'd like the tears of those who grieve
To dry before the sun
Of happy memories I leave
Behind--when day is done.

What my friend of almost 50 yrs.
would want to say to us all.

I only met grammy once but heard many fun tales from Liz. WOW what an incredible person. I know she will be missed and somehow I think we will see some of her in Liz.

I only met Grammy once, at Lyz's art show several years ago. But through the many stories Lyz tells of Grammy's accomplishments and adventures, I feel as if I knew her better than that one meeting allowed.

What a remarkable woman she was; and an inspriration for all of us - to take chances and to live life fully. Her's was a fire that burned strongly and brightly. And we can see it still.

For my Dear Aunt Ruth,
I can't say how much Aunt Ruth helped me. Even though I hadn't seen her for over 25 years! She did this through regular correspondance by E-Mail...right up until the weeks before her passing. I am so glad that I followed my instincts and went to see Aunt Ruth in May. I traveled from California just to see her and thank her for her friendship and love. We had such a wonderful visit. Aunt Ruth had a remarkable wit, as well as patience love and understanding. She...

What a pleasure and an inspiration it has been to have known Ruth. She was funny, engaging, gracious, and great company. We will miss her.

I feel privileged to have met Grammy through Liz. Not only was her life prolific and terrific but she spawned a lively daughter and adventurous, special grand-daughter. There is no better legacy than that.

Although I only had the pleasure of spending time with Grammy on a few occasions, her grace and charm were obvious immediately. Her love of her family and friends was even more obvious.
My thoughts and prayers are with your family.

Grammy was a remarkable woman that lived a full life that only few will ever have the chance.
I feel lucky to have witnessed the love and adoration that she and her granddaughter Lyz shared. It is not something seen in every family.

It was a great privilege to be in Grammy's presence on several occasions, and even though her physical presence will be missed most by her family, her story, love and fun that is "Grammy" will live on in our hearts forever. Peace & Love

What a pleasure it is to have had Grammy in my life. Although I only had a few years with her, I will miss her greatly. She overcame so many obstacles to become the graceful, beautiful, dignified woman she was. Her accomplishments are quite an inspiration to many women. Grammy always treated me like family. Although I will miss her beautiful smile and playful laugh, I can continue to appreciate her contribution to life through Ann and Lyz.
