Our sincere condolences.

How I remember Ruthie and you Helen. Growing up across the street from you both. I remember when I would come over and Ruthie would play the paino. I remember both your weddings. Lots of good memories. She and Norm were a perfect match. I am glad they had so many years together and with their family. My thoughts are with you Helen and Doug and your family.
