Not sure what to say?

I once told her I wanted to be just like her when I grew Up! While I'm just a bit younger than she was, she knew what I meant. She was a wonderful woman, loved her stories and her cheerful attitude. Her tinsel wrapped walker was not lost on me and if I get to that stage, I plan to copy her! I treasure every minute I spent in her company.

Mrs. McGraw was the most gracious of women, and we delighted in visiting the McGraws home in Indian Hill when she "adopted" a red fox and its kits, to the consternation of Mr. McGraw. She will be missed.

Ruth was a very smart and sweet lady. In my position with Twin Lakes I had the privilege of driving Ruth many times to her weekly hair salon appointment! She was a joy to talk with and I learned quite a bit from her about the family history! The work is a better place since she was part of it! RIP Ruth! Tom Camp

Dear Donald and Family,
Ruth was one of the warmest, most generous of women I've ever known. She made you feel you were important to whatever the task at hand. She was ready to help at a moment's notice but was a pillar of common sense and practicality. I really loved her way and will sorely miss her.

Dear Judy and Family, My deepest condolences on the passing of your dear mother. I remember Mrs. McGraw so clearly! She was always so involved with us and our activities; and made us all feel so welcome in your home during our many activities and gatherings there. Always laughing. and always so stylishly dressed! I remember her with great affection. I have thought about you, Judy, over the years. Sending prayers to you and your family for comfort and peace. The circle will be...

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

You are greatly loved and missed. Much love, your Hannaford court family ❤

Ruth was Regent of the Cincinnati Chapter DAR when I was Treasurer. She taught me so much. I did not know she was a pianist although I knew she had an appreciation of the arts. This is a wonderful picture of her. I will miss being able to attend the memorial.
