Ruth Ann Jones

I just do not know where to start. I love and miss her so much it hurts. But when I think of her, it's of all the good times we had. Down the shore on the boardwalk, eating at the waterfront, or going to yard sales. I will always remember when Aunt Ruth, Ann and me went to Wal-mart on Christmas eve. It was busy as hell, and Ann said we better not get a short little old lady as cashier. We did our shopping, got on line, and there, shorter then the cash register, was a A LITTLE OLD LADY! I...

We Carry Them With Us

Souls pass, and leave us empty
We don't see it helps us grow
And living still means grieving
And our sense tells us it's so.

Fields of vacant, wandering memories
Following us each day we live
Earth has a plan in all it's actions
Somtimes that's too true to forgive

Decadent days of learning aren't past
Even though we think we've grown so old
There still things for which...

My memories of my beautiful Sister and my Friend begin at about 5 years of age. * Ruth was a good daughter> Our Mom worked and Ruth was in charge. She would scrub and cook before Mom got home. * Then in her teen years Ruth was my protector> When she began being interested in boys, Mom would still ask her to take me out. It was fun because she would take me to parks, to movies and to the swimming pool in Newark. (I had to be a pain in her butt, but she always did it for Mom. (Maybe I am the...

My Dear Aunt Ruth was a wonderful woman. She meant alot more to me the she would have ever realized.I remember when my Mom (her sister)was in the hospital dying of leukiemia.My Aunt came up to Carteret and stayed at my grandmothers house so she could be here for us. She woke up and went the the hospital with my father (butch) every morning (8:00am-10:00am ) and stayed there all day until I got there at 3:30pm after work. Then she still stayed with me until I was ready to go home at...

We don't have many memories of Aunt Ruthie. But one of the memories we do have is when she came down here for Mardi Gras. We made her a box that said "Moon Me!!" Let's just say she got mooned many times. We all got to share in her booty! Mom and Nancy would always push her to the park after the parade to have a picinic with our family and friends. We had a wonderful time during the picinic before we rushed off to make it to the second parade in Orange Beach. We will miss her dearly.

My Big Sister, My Friend. I never imagined how painful it would be without out. All my life, you were always there. Right to the end, you had words of comfort or wisdom for me. No one can phathom how much you mean to me. No one knows the hurting I feel inside. How can I live another really happy day knowing that you are not here to talk to. I have always loved you so dearly. I miss you terribly. Life is sad without you.

It was an honor the first day I met Ruth. She was in a wheel chair. I am a visiting homemaker. I walked in and she greeted me with a smile.
We hit off right from the start. I felt like I was apart of her family from the first day. I spent almost 3 years with Ruth and I loved every minute. She was a very giving person. I was there to help her, but whether she knew or not, she helped me. She would listen to all my problems and try to give me advice. I had to leave Ruth when I moved. I...
