Thinking of Ruth and remembering her smile, upbeat way of always looking at life, and her gift of showing us and everyone she met the importance of living life to its fullest! She always said it the way it was, never minced words, and had a heart of gold! We miss spending time with you, having you nearby to share your words of wisdom, and so grateful for your friendship! We love you Ruth!

Ruth & Steve and a puffin friend!
