RUTH C. LAURENT

I have wonderful memories of the years I had contact with David and the Civic Chorale and at Brown and Ruth with the Music Clubs and your family while I was teaching music at John Howland and Classical High School. May your memories comfort you in knowing that they added so much to the cultural life of Rhode Island.

To Roy, Christine and sons,
Ruth brought joy and a winning attitude to every situation. My in-laws always spoke of both Ruth and David with such great esteem and affection. Their friendship was a treasured gift in their lives. We will all miss her, and are better people for having known her.
With love,
Paula & Ken Poole

My mother-n-law, Ruth, was not only an exceptional organist, and choir director, she was a wonderful wife, mother, grandmother and friend. She had a great personality and sure made me laugh alot. We all have so many wonderful memories of her and Dad from Sundays at church, family gatherings and holidays. She was a lovely woman and will live on in my heart forever. Rest in peace Ruth. Love, Christine

It was a pleasure to have known Ruth. She had a great sense of humor and was always so kind to everyone. I'm grateful to have been able to spend time with her during her last few years with us, and learn of all the wonderful things she had accomplished during her lifetime. I admire her greatly, and she will be always be remembered. I am sure she is relieved to be in Heaven now, with loved ones.
My thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends. God Bless ~ Jennie Laurent ~

Dear Mimi and Sara,
We have known your mom since Cheryl and Chris married. She was an amazing woman. She used to make us laugh when she would fuss with your dad. They were like Abbott and Costello. She had a sweet sense of humor. She meant alot to Cheryl, and she will miss her dearly. You will be in our thoughts and prayers. Love, Robin and David Penn and Family. Florida

Dear Big Sister, You lost an amazing mother-in-law. We have had alot of fun times together on Ogden St. You were like a daughter to her and I know she loved you dearly.

Dear Mimi and Sara, You were truly blessed with an inspirational mom, and grandmother. Mimi I know it meant so much to her that you were with there.

Dear Royal, Christine and boys, We were sorry to hear about the passing of your mom. She was an amazing woman. She brought beautiful music into our lives.
