Not sure what to say?

Oh my gosh, what can I say? Ruth was my best friend, my confidante!! She said things the way they were, and if I needed to hear advice I did not like, she gave it to me, but the way only that woman of so much wisdom could do. I respected her opinion so much! The two of us had so so much fun and got into so much trouble together. I just treasure all of the memories I have of our times together. I think of her so often and miss her terribly. I just told my husband the other night that I am...

Auntie Ruth - you always gave me the best advice and told me wonderful stories about having fun and living life. You encouraged me to do that to and I have tried. You told me never to worry about what others said or thought about me, only care what my family, my mother especially, told me because she would always be truthful with no agenda. I have never forgotten that and always knew you loved and cared for me too. You were an incredible woman.....beautiful, smart, kind, tough when you...

My sympathy to Ruth's family.

How can you say goodbye to someone who meant so much to you? Thank you, Ruth, for being an important part of my life, for being a great friend. I will miss you!

Ruth,
I don't even know where to begin. You have been such an important part of my life for so many years. I have a treasure trove of memories that I will cherish for the rest of my life. Thank you for being in my life.
I will miss you terribly.

Auntie - I loved you and thoroughly enjoyed the times we spent together. You will always be in my prayers. My memories of you are precious.

For my beautiful Aunt Ruth, I will love and miss you the rest of my life and never forget those road trips, and especially our trip to California. You took part of my heart with you.

Grandma, you were a great, fun-loving lady. I have so many memories of you that just make me smile. Like, you always willing to run through the sprinkler with me when I was little, the new puzzles you always had for me in your end table, your fabulous apple pie and caramel rolls, you doing sit ups on your exercise machine and able to do many more than I could (just a few years ago!), the way you always looked like a million dollars when you left the house.

My condolances go out to...

It's hard to put my love for you in words. You were so much more than a beloved aunt. You were a touchstone for my life, a treasured friend, a fun companion, almost a peer. I will always be grateful for your love and understanding. You meant the world to me.
