Ruth Adelaide Gardiner

I just learned that Mrs. Gardiner (as I knew her) had passed away. My sympathies to her children; she was always so sweet and nice to me. Mark, especially to you I send my sincere sympathies. I was in GR last week and drove by your old house. Such great memories of the whole family!

Mrs. Gardiner was a wonderful, kind, genuine and generous lady.
we are so happy to know that she is finally with God and Jim. May she truly rest in peace. She made the world a better place. Our deepest sympathies to the Gardiner family.

We are so glad that Ruth got to spend her twilight years in the new house. We only wish that Jim would have had that opportunity. Ruth was a great lady and Jim was a wonderful inspiration to all the young men and women he coached. They were quite a team!!

I learned so much from Aunt Ruth and treasure memories of all the Eaton sisters.

Wishing peace and goodwill, Doug

As your neighbor for the last few years I only saw you a few times outside but one stands out in particular. I was mowing my lawn a couple of years ago and noticed a car slowing down to stop. I looked to find you walking across the street very slowly. I walked over to make sure you were ok and I'll never forget what you told me. "I'm fine! I couldn't stand being in my house and decided to go for a walk on such a beautiful day". Godspeed to you and my condolences to your family.

Dear Aunt Ruth! What a wonderful person. Her strength and positive attitude were so inspiring. Her laugh was so full of happiness and good humor. I will miss her very much.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I only met Ruth at Mark and Laura's wedding - she was such a vibrant and sweet lady. I know you will all miss her but will have your good memories of her to think about forever. Love, Frances Lazarus
