What a beautiful picture of such a beautiful kind woman. I worked with Ruth at CCHD. I was so surprised to read she retired in 1996 as I started there in 1992 and feel like I worked with her forever ❤ I remembered all of her grandchildren’s names, she loved and told stories of them always.as well as her own kids and Chan too. She always looked far younger than her years. I’m so sorry that I lost touch with her. My condolences for the loss of your dear mother and grandmother.
