To the Kates Family, My thoughts and prayers are with each of you. Hold on to your most precious memories of Grandma Ruth. I remember getting out of school, rushing to Kates Grocery store and helping push those counters together as if I was a blood born Kates. She will truly be missed by all who knew and loved her.
