Mom, I miss you lots and love you more.

A true lady - she will be missed

I have Christmas stockings that Ruth knit for my children when they were born - 1983 and 1986 and I hang them each Christmas by the chimney with care and always think of Ruth and I always will. She was a very special lady.

Jean, Patty and family -
Our thoughts are with you. Your mom was an incredible woman and will be missed by your family and the community she served. As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

Ruth was an incredible sister, always there for everyone. She loved Shapleigh and worked very hard to keep the good aspects and even harder to improve what needed changed. She loved her family unendingly. RIP,Ruth. You are greatly loved.

Rest in Peace. Colleen
