Ruth has been my friend since kindergarten. We shared so many memories. She was my daughter´s godmother and was always there for me. I recently met several of her good friends from Polo, Illinois. All wonderful, caring people. She dedicated her life to teaching the Children of Polo and has left a mark on so many lives. I am so grateful to have been part of her life. Fly high with the angels Ruth...you have earned your wings. You are loved.

Ruth Zirbes was a special girl/woman who I had the opportunity to attend grade school and high school. She will be missed in this world, and I can attest to her profession that she chose--teaching. I did that for 25 years in HS and college. It takes a special person to teach elementary school. Ruth was that special person--our prayers are with all her family, and for the repose of her soul.

My heart goes out to your family and all of those you helped shape into great people as you did me. From my kindergarten days with you as Ms. Zirbes, do my days with Mr. Loomis (I still have a hard time calling either of you by your first names), I could not ask for better people to be a part of and help shape the life I have had. With Love, Tim
