Ruth on July 27, 2012
Thank you everyone for these kind words of encouragement. We spent many hours talking about her wonderful family and friends. For those of you who couldn't come to the funeral, she was buried in RED SOCKS and a red casket!!! I am grateful to God and for Ruth's faith in Jesus Christ and can't wait to see her again. She saved my life and her and Shelby were wonderful friends to me. I miss them both so much. God bless you all. Thank you

Sorry to hear of Ruth's passing. She was an extraordinary woman, with an acute sense of family. I always enjoyed sharing a smile with Ruth at East Hampton Cong Church. Rest in peace, Ruth

A wonderful woman has left us to join her husband, parents and siblings. Visiting at her house was always warm and inviting, as a child, that as an adult I returned with my children. RIP Aunt Ruth, You will be greatly missed.
