Still missing your beautiful smile and beautiful soul

As my friends and family go to the great Heaven above. My thought go to those who have achieved the great reward. One of those who made a lasting impression was Ruth. Her love for her Friends, family especially her Hospice patients. When she arrived in Heaven I know she was greeted by those whom she helped at their last days. I can only hope and pray I have someone like Ruth, Marie Bigelow and Mary McCormack surrounding me when it comes my time

I knew Ruth professionally at Methodist Hospice. She was the most amazing Lady. I still have very fond memories of her. Jim S

Miss you so much. What a beautiful person and that smile. We shall never forget

Ruth was one on a million. I was a volunteer and she helped train me. My wife Marie was also trained by Ruth. They are both in Heaven now. God Bless the family

I only knew Ms Ruth briefly. I attended one of her diabetes classes at the HOPE CENTER and I was touched by her caring spirit and sense of humor! I stopped by the clinic in May just to see her and was advised that she had passed away. Iam very sad to have learned of her death. I was so looking forward to getting to know her better! I did discover from reading the obituary that I do know her son Morris and some other family members who I didn't know were related to her. What a small world...

Ruth was a wonderful mentor. I worked as a hospice social worker and Ruth was my supervisor. Ruth taught me compassion, patient and family-centered care, laughter, humor, and most of all mindfulness. Thank you Ruth for your guidance and the gifts you've given me...you will be missed.

I knew Ruth when I was a volunteer at Methodist Hospice. She helped actually train me in my years of Hospice. My prayers are with you and the family. Gob Bless you and my he comfort you in your sorrow.
