Ruth Alberta Howarth

Ruth was my Mother in law. We had great cruises on the Mexican Riviera. She made the trip interesting with her conversation. She never got Sea Sick.

Another one of your children has gone on to meet his maker. Now with Douglas gone we are down to have of the original six of us.

Mom(Ruth) made me feel welcome at family gathering. I remember her leading children to pray to receive Jesus as Savior at VBS around this time of year.

Your firstborn is now with you and Dad and Boyd. We had a very nice service for Alane on Saturday April 21st. I often thought about you and Dad as I watched the slide presentation. We are now half of the original eight in our family. Love you!

I am thinking of you today, on what would have been your 101 birthday. I remember back thirteen years ago today when we all, except Boyd, got together for your 88th and what turned out to be your last birthday. I love you.

Thinking of you today Mom. It has been eight and a half years now that you have been gone from us. I think of you often. Thank you for everything you did for all of us. Love Brian

And I am comforted by that knowledge, but I am missing him right now. I can't believe that I won't hear his voice again here on earth or get an e-mail with his special wit and perspective on things. That is a hard thing. He was such an "original" throughout his entire life. Our...

Grandma,
It has been a big year for me. I got married, I had a big surgery and i started a new job as a Montessori teacher. There is so much I hoped to share with you. I went on a cruise for my honey moon and I remembered our cruise we took together. Many of my happiest memories include you. I was thinking about you a lot this week. I saw the pixar movie UP and I thought about you and Grandpa. The movie reminds me of many of the adventures you both went on and your very special...

Mom,
